A new video from the eFTI4ALL Greek pilot has been recently released. The video, featuring Alexandra Nassou, Head of Service for the Development of Supply Chain at the General Secretariat for Commerce, at the Ministry of Development of Greece, offers a closer look at how Greece is preparing for the implementation and adoption of the Electronic Freight Transport Information Regulation.
Greece’s participation in eFTI4ALL is led by the Ministry of Development, with the support of the Centre for Research and Technology Hellas (CERTH), and in particular the Hellenic Institute of Transport, acting as an affiliated entity of the Ministry.
The Greek pilot focuses on testing the digital exchange of freight transport information between economic operators and competent authorities, helping to demonstrate how eFTI can work in practice within the national transport ecosystem.
Given Greece’s strategic position at the crossroads of Europe, Asia and Africa, the pilot also has a strong cross-border dimension. Its activities are designed to support secure, efficient and interoperable information exchange across transport modes and national borders, while contributing to the wider digital transformation of freight transport.
Among the main objectives of the pilot are:
- integrating eFTI infrastructure with existing national digital platforms and systems;
- testing the electronic exchange of freight transport information between businesses and public authorities;
- improving the efficiency and transparency of freight inspections;
- reducing administrative burden and paperwork for transport operators;
- supporting interoperability with other national pilots and European eFTI platforms;
- collecting operational feedback to facilitate the future deployment of eFTI services.
The pilot will also test eFTI data sharing during transport operations, validate platform services and assess the technical, operational and regulatory aspects of implementation. User experience and potential business benefits will form an important part of the evaluation.
The Greek pilot brings together a broad ecosystem of public authorities, research organisations and industry stakeholders. Alongside the Ministry of Development, the initiative involves the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport as an observer, relevant national inspection authorities, research and technical partners, and representatives from the logistics sector.
The new video provides a concise introduction to this work and highlights the role the Greek pilot will play in supporting the future deployment of eFTI in Greece and its interoperability with the wider European ecosystem.
