E-CMR allows for fully digital consignment notes in international road freight, replacing traditional paper-based documents and streamlining logistics operations across the country.
This development follows the recent accessions of Italy and Austria to the e-CMR framework: Italy ratified the e-CMR convention in July 2024, after initiating legislative steps in March, while Austria joined in mid-August.
The transition to e-CMR is expected to deliver numerous benefits to Hungary’s logistics and transport sector. By adopting the digital system, businesses will see improved operational efficiency, reduced handling costs, and fewer administrative and invoicing delays. Additionally, e-CMR enhances the accuracy of shipment tracking with real-time pick-up and delivery information, improving transparency and security throughout the logistics chain.
