EFTI TECHNICAL GUIDANCES PUBLISHED

The European Commission has made the eFTI Technical Guidance Documentation publicly available, providing a new resource to support the practical implementation of the electronic Freight Transport Information (eFTI) framework across the EU.

The documentation outlines the background and overall architecture of eFTI and includes detailed technical guidance for both competent authorities and economic operators. It also offers practical insights to facilitate the transition towards digital freight transport information exchanges.

The guidance is accessible via the eFTI Technical Guidance Documentation webpage hosted by the European Commission and through the Capacity Building section of the eFTI4EU website. Access requires a valid EU Login account.

The publication of this material is an important step in supporting stakeholders’ preparations for the rollout of eFTI and promoting harmonised digital data exchange in freight transport across the EU.
