Hungary introduces e-CMS
The digital protocol to the United Nations CMR convention for international road goods transport, entered into force in Hungary last week, setting a legal foundation for fully paperless road freight.
Hungary is the 38th country to join e-CMR. The switch from paper-based to fully digital consignment notes will boost the efficiency and safety of goods transport in Hungary and, ultimately, into neighbouring countries, the International Road Transport Union (IRU) said.
By eliminating paperwork, e-CMR lowers handling costs, ends administrative and invoicing delays, and reduces discrepancies at delivery sites. Hungary’s step to go digital follows the recently completed accession of Italy and Austria to e-CMR. (ben)
