Germany is one of the largest and most developed transport markets in Europe. A dense motorway network, a central location and high industry standards make road transport a key part of supply chains here. In this article, we outline the most important rules and best practices in the German transport industry.
Driver working time regulations
The working hours of professional drivers in Germany are governed by EU and national regulations on driving periods and mandatory rest breaks. Drivers must comply with maximum daily driving times and regular breaks, which are recorded using a tachograph. This reduces the risk of driver fatigue and increases road safety.
Safety standards in road transport
The German transport industry relies on strict standards regarding vehicle technical condition, cargo insurance and correct load securing in line with guidelines such as the VDI 2700 standard. Regular technical inspections of the fleet and driver training are the foundation of safe, legally compliant transport.
Transport infrastructure in Germany
An extensive motorway network (Autobahn) and strategically located logistics hubs such as Hamburg, Bremen, Hanover, Cologne and Berlin make road transport in Germany exceptionally efficient and predictable. It is on these routes that we carry out most of our transport orders.
