Estonia wants to be a testbed for the whole of Europe, creating a functioning data network between the state and private sector, creating opportunities for sharing freight data between companies and the state. Assumption is that speeding up data exchange will provide a significant economic effect, reduce bureaucracy and help create a fairer and more transparent freight market than before.
Estonia Pilot
To prove this, Estonia supports the creation of all components necessary for the operation of a single, open standards-based eFTI network for both domestic and international freight transport. Through the pilot, plan is to test the possibilities of the eFTI legislation and point out positions that need to be supplemented.
Transport mode: Road, Short Sea
Baltic Transport Corridor Pilot (Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland)
Demonstrate and pilot real eFTI use cases with respective competent authorities and commercial operators in cross-country, multi-operator setup. Creating foundation and technical readiness, awareness and preparation for uptake for future eFTI ecosystem. The focus of the pilot is to test and validate the feasibility of a multi-state eFTI data exchange system, ensuring it functions effectively in real-world conditions. The aim is to identify potential challenges and validate data interoperability. The aim of the pilot is also to demonstrate the scalability and benefits of eFTI for economic operators. The results will provide valuable insights for refining the eFTI system before broader implementation.
Objectives
- Gate-to-gate data exchange (cross border)
- Multi-Platform-to-gate API and data exchange
- Gate-to authority integration
- Real roadside multi-country testing
Technical components
- eFTI Gates (Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland)
- Authority Access Point APP for (Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland)
- Rest API for each (AAP)
- eFTI Platforms (Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland)

eFTI Gate Reference Implementation
Main focus is test of working eFTI gate prototype with real business data from economic operators, potential future eFTI platforms operators, eCMR service providers and national authorities. Piloting is planned to have two phases. Firstly, the POC (Proof of Concept) is carried out, second phase will be based on POC results to develop eFTI gate working prototype and reach to technology readiness level (TRL) 8.
Objectives
- Indexing and metadata register
- Authority Access Point and x-road services
- Public API (2-way communication)
- Rest API and eDelivery Access Point readyness (4Gate2Gate)
- 6 eFTI Platforms integration
Technical components
- eFTI Gate
- Rest API for eFTI platforms
- Rest API for X-Road (AAP)
- Indexing & Metadata Register
- eDelivery Access Point
