Sustainable mobility: what Spanish legislation means for logistics
Spain is working on new legislation that will reshape how mobility is organised. The Sustainable Mobility Law puts sustainability, digitalisation and data usage at the heart of transport policy. This is highly relevant for logistics companies: the law calls for more transparency, lower emissions and more efficient processes. Exactly the areas where e‑CMR offers a strong solution.
What does the law require from logistics players?
The Spanish law introduces concrete requirements that affect logistics:
- Large companies must draw up a sustainable mobility plan
- Cities will introduce low‑emission zones
- Goods flows must be organised more intelligently, especially in urban areas
- Carriers will have to report CO₂ emissions per transport
These kinds of obligations require reliable data. Paper consignment notes make that difficult: they are slow, error‑prone and hard to analyse. Digital systems such as e‑CMR make it possible to gain insight per trip, customer or route.
How does e‑CMR support these developments?
With e‑CMR you record transport data digitally. This gives you the tools to meet new requirements:
- Processes become faster: No more handwritten forms, fewer administrative errors and quicker handling during checks.
- Emissions reporting becomes easier: By linking trip data to vehicle type and distance, you can calculate and communicate CO₂ emissions per shipment.
- Urban logistics becomes more efficient: Real-time data helps to optimise routes, bundle deliveries and deploy zero‑emission vehicles more effectively.
- Compliance becomes demonstrable: Digital documents make it easy to show authorities or customers that you meet sustainability requirements.
Why make the switch now?
The Spanish law is still under development, but it clearly shows where Europe is heading. Other countries are likely to take similar steps. Companies that invest in digital solutions such as e‑CMR now will be better prepared when these requirements are rolled out more widely.
Moreover, e‑CMR not only helps you stay compliant, it also builds a competitive advantage. Customers and partners increasingly choose logistics providers that are transparent about sustainability and can show measurable results.
Sustainable mobility requires data‑driven logistics
Spanish legislation makes it clear that digitalisation is no longer a distant prospect, but a concrete expectation. e‑CMR provides the foundation to respond today: with better data, faster processes and demonstrable sustainability.
