EU Mobility Package: What changes this year and what it means

New conditions for a more efficient, harmonized and socially acceptable road transport sector: The EU Mobility Package 2020/2022 is intended to drive forward European standardization in the field of freight forwarding and logistics.

The EU mobility package was already adopted in 2020. However, the innovations will come into force in stages at different points in time. Changes in 2022 are primarily intended to improve working conditions for professional drivers and create fair competitive conditions for companies within the EU.

A number of changes were already made in February 2022. More are to follow in May 2022. No transition period is planned. The following key points are central to this:

  • Digitization of the tachograph (valid from 02 February 2022)
  • Appropriate working conditions and social protection in the context of posting of workers (valid from 02 February 2022)
  • Obligation to return the vehicles (valid from February 21, 2022)
  • Cooling-off phases for cabotages (valid from February 21, 2022)
  • Extension of the financial capacity of forwarding and logistics companies (valid from February 21, 2022)
  • Extension of the permit and license requirement in international commercial road haulage (planned from May 21, 2022)

For the freight forwarding and logistics market, the cost increases and increased bureaucracy are leading to a tightening of the market situation.

DACHSER therefore began at an early stage to continuously assess the respective influences on production and the cost situation in the road network and to derive measures. Even in this situation, the top priority for DACHSER is open and transparent communication with our customers. All resulting changes are therefore communicated to our customers in good time.

Safety through visibility

This year, a new flashing light concept was rolled out to improve the visibility of DACHSER trucks. Affixed to the sides of the trailers, these additional flashing lights help minimize the risk of accidents when trucks are turning—in particular during the darker months of the year. They flash whenever the driver activates the indicator.

Statement on the current situation in regard to the spread of the COVID-19 virus

With this announcement, DACHSER is providing information on action to be taken to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus (also known as the coronavirus) within the DACHSER organization and in regard to the current status of operational activities as well as any possible impacts on our customers’ shipments.

In view of the current situation, specific guidelines for conduct and precautions have been rolled out within the global DACHSER organization. The actions to be taken include the establishment of a central reporting management system, regular assessment of the situation, and definition of additional action according to the situation. The relevant activities were also expanded and intensified on the basis of the existing hygiene management in the various areas (human resources, operational, and process hygiene).

In addition to these actions taken internally, DACHSER is complying with all current official regulations and taking appropriate precautions. In the event of restrictions applicable to individual locations, action plans are ready to be implemented in order to ensure that our network can continue to operate.

To enable a smooth process, we depend on being able to work together with all parties involved in the supply chains, including cooperation with truck drivers so that they will also be able to comply with increased hygiene regulations. We also fully integrated the drivers into our hygiene management and provided hand disinfectants at all locations.

We are doing everything possible to maintain our customers’ supply chains and prevent delays in shipments. If supply chains are to be affected in any way by checks, controls, flight cancellations, or the like, we will work to find alternative ways to ship the goods. We would also like to point out that the delivery times for consignments could be extended. However, the measures we have taken so far make us feel well equipped to deal with the current situation.To make this possible, it is essential that we maintain close coordination with our customers.

If you have any questions about your freight, please get in touch with your local point of contact at the respective branch of DACHSER.
