Austria Pilot

The Austrian Cross-Border pilot is a strategic initiative aimed at establishing a robust electronic Freight Transport Information (eFTI) framework for secure and interoperable data exchange among pilot participants—initially including eFT4EU Member States. This pilot addresses the challenges of implementing an eFTI exchange environment by testing the lifecycle of mandatory components to ensure compliance with European and national regulations. With a focus on overcoming data exchange barriers and enhancing cross-border collaboration, the initiative is set to provide invaluable insights for optimizing internal procedures and the overall effectiveness of future eFTI environments.
