Digitalisation of transport: how technology is changing the way goods move in Europe

From GPS monitoring apps and online transport exchanges to electronic documents and artificial intelligence algorithms, digitisation is radically changing the way goods move across Europe.

But what does this mean for customers and carriers? And how do companies with experience adapt, such as DOOR SPEED TRUCKTo these changes?

Why is digitalization inevitable in transportation?

📌 Main reasons:

• customer requirementsfor transparency and traceability,
• European regulationsrequiring digital documents and monitoring,
• pressure on costs→ optimization of routes and reduction of dead times,
• global competitionOnly those who adopt the technology remain competitive.

The main technologies that are changing transport in 2025

1. GPS monitoring and telematics

Every modern truck is equipped with monitoring systems.

• customers can see in real time where their goods are located,
• carriers optimize routes and fuel consumption,
• drivers receive safety alerts.

2. Digital exchanges and online applications

Platforms such as BursaTransport.ro, Trans.eu or TimoComThey moved completely online.

• customers find fast shipping,
• carriers reduce their empty journeys,
• algorithms match the request to the offer in a matter of minutes.

3. Electronic documents (e-CMR)

The paper is lagging behind.

• e-CMR (electronic cover letter) is accepted in more and more EU countries,
• digital documents reduce bureaucracy and the risk of errors,
• customers have instant access to documents, without waiting for physical delivery.

4. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data

• algorithms that calculate optimal routes based on traffic and road costs,
• more accurate delivery predictions,
• detection of risks (e.g. delays at borders).

5. Automation of communication

• automatic notifications by SMS or e-mail,
• mobile applications for drivers,
• chatbots for customers.

➡️ The result: less time wasted, more efficiency.

Benefits of Digitalization for Customers

1. TransparencyI know where the goods are at every moment.
2. safety— systems reduce the risk of loss or theft.
3. Rapidity— deliveries are optimized, waiting times are reduced.
4. Flexibility— quick adjustment of routes and planning.

The Risks of Digitalization

• high costfor implementation,
• dependence on technology(what do you do if the systems fall?),
• Cybersecurity— an aspect ignored by many companies.

That's why digitization is not just “new applications”, but also safety procedureswell put in place.
