The freight transport sector is constantly evolving, and European regulations continue to adapt to new market demands and sustainability. In 2025, key changes will be implemented that will affect logistics companies, from new environmental regulations to adjustments to drivers’ working conditions.
Being aware of these changes is essential to ensure legal compliance and to optimise the operations of transport companies.
Key changes in European regulations by 2025
Stricter rules on emissions and sustainability
The European Union continues its commitment to reducing Co² emissions. By 2025, emission limits for transport vehicles will be tightened, encouraging the use of alternative fuels and more efficient fleets.
- Impact for businesses: Vehicles will need to be refurbished or technologies adapted to meet the new standards.
Greater control over driving and rest times
To improve road safety and drivers’ working conditions, European legislation provides for stricter monitoring of driving and rest times through advanced digital tachographs.
- Impact for companies: Companies will have to ensure compliance and update time recording systems.
International transport and cabotage regulations
New limits will apply to cabotage, i.e. internal transport within a country by foreign companies. This aims to balance competition in the sector and avoid abuses in the contracting of carriers from other countries with less favourable conditions.
The changes in European regulations for 2025 are aimed at more sustainable, safer and fairer transport. Logistics companies must anticipate these changes to avoid penalties and improve their operational efficiency.
