It aims to create <strong>fair working conditions for drivers<\/strong>, <strong>promote competition in the internal market <\/strong>and <strong>increase road safety<\/strong>. The package includes regulations on driving and rest times, cabotage, and logging driver information. Important provisions already apply, such as the ban on spending the regular weekly rest period inside the vehicle. In the coming years, further regulations will come into force that will permanently change the industry.<\/p><p>The specific objectives of the package include <strong>combating social dumping<\/strong>, <strong>improving working conditions for truck drivers<\/strong>, ensuring <strong>fair competition <\/strong>in the European internal market, and reducing CO2 emissions through more efficient logistics processes.<\/p><p>The package also includes <strong>measures to improve the enforcement and monitoring of regulations<\/strong>, such as the introduction of Smart tachographs, which transmit more data and facilitate pre-selection during checks. Other planned regulations include the obligation to return trucks to the company\u2019s home country in order to prevent systematic cabotage.<\/p><h2>Why has the EU adopted the mobility package?<\/h2><p>The EU adopted the mobility package to counteract <strong>negative trends<\/strong> <strong>in competition and working conditions in road transport<\/strong>. The aim is to prevent tachograph manipulation and to ensure safe, efficient and socially acceptable freight in Europe.<\/p><p>To this end, standardised regulations are to be introduced in the EU and existing ambiguities removed. After more than three years of controversial discussions, the package of measures was adopted in July 2020.<\/p><p>The most important innovations include the introduction of the <strong>Smart Tacho Version 2<\/strong> from 2023 and the extension of the <strong>obligation to include tachographs in light commercial vehicles (2.5 to 3.5 tonnes)<\/strong> in <strong>cross-border transport from 2026<\/strong>. It should also be emphasised that the package also includes the obligation for <strong>trucks to return to their home country every eight weeks<\/strong> in order to prevent systematic cabotage.<\/p><p>In addition, stricter sanctions will be introduced for offences and compliance checks by national authorities will be improved. In the long term, these measures should lead to greater fairness and safety in road freight transport and at the same time reduce environmental pollution.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5c7da42 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-eael-feature-list\" data-id=\"5c7da42\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"eael-feature-list.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"-icon-position-left -tablet-icon-position-left -mobile-icon-position-left\">\n\t\t\t<ul id=\"eael-feature-list-5c7da42\" class=\"eael-feature-list-items circle stacked connector-type-classic eael-feature-list-vertical\" data-layout-tablet=\"vertical\" data-layout-mobile=\"vertical\">\n\t\t\t                <li class=\"eael-feature-list-item elementor-repeater-item-9b4cd68\">\n                                            <span class=\"connector\" style=\"right: calc(100% - 62px);

Our overview shows you what you should prepare for as a transport company and what already applies.<\/p><h3>Documenting border crossings<\/h3><p>Since 2 February 2022, Regulation (EU) 2020\/1054 stipulates that truck drivers must <strong>document border crossings in the digital tachograph<\/strong> (see Article 34 of Regulation (EU) No. 165\/2014). After crossing a border, drivers are obliged to drive to the next possible stopping place and manually set the symbol of the new country. This serves to improve the control of cabotage. The driver card may be removed for entry, although this is not technically necessary. In future, the<strong> Smart Tacho Version 2 <\/strong>will automatically record these border crossings. Fines may apply for non-compliance.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Legal basis:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/legal-content\/DE\/TXT\/HTML\/?uri=CELEX:02014R0165-20200820&amp;qid=1637143331634&amp;from=DE#M1-16\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Article 34 (7) of Regulation (EU) No. 165\/2014<\/a><br \/><strong>Valid from:<\/strong> 02.02.2022<br \/><strong>ATTENTION:<\/strong> for tachograph discs already since <strong>20.08.2020<\/strong>!<\/p><hr \/><p>\u00a0<\/p><h3>New posting regulations<\/h3><p>The Posting of Workers Directive, which was introduced as part of the Mobility Package I, ensures that all workers in the road transport sector, <strong>regardless of their country of origin<\/strong>, <strong>receive the same working conditions as domestic workers<\/strong> in the respective country of deployment.

A new addition is that the regulations not only ensure fair wages, but also <strong>increase transparency<\/strong> by obliging companies to provide all necessary information on compliance with the posting rules.

The regulations aim to <strong>combat illegal cabotage, prevent tachograph manipulation and improve the monitoring of driving and rest times and logging driver information<\/strong>.<\/p><p>A key aspect is the inclusion of vehicles over 2.5 tonnes in the regulations on driving and rest times in cross-border transport in order to improve working conditions and create fair competitive conditions. Important deadlines include the <strong>conversion to the Version 2 smart tachograph<\/strong> for commercial vehicles over 3.5 tonnes by January and August 2025 and for vehicles over 2.5 tonnes by July 2026.<\/p><p>Regulations already in force prohibit spending the regular weekly rest period inside the vehicle and require documentation of border crossings. New tachograph cards have been issued since August 2023, but without mandatory exchange.<\/p><p>Whether the measures will bring about the desired improvements in practice remains to be seen, but the extension of the regulations to lighter commercial vehicles is an important step towards making the industry fairer and safer. The package also aims to <strong>combat social dumping, improve competition <\/strong>and reduce CO2 emissions through more efficient
