On 17 June 2025, the eFTI4ALL project joined forces with the EU-funded ADMIRAL and CLEVER initiatives to host a joint webinar titled “Greener freight made easy: better emission tracking & smarter data sharing”.
Targeted at companies in the logistics and transport sectors, the event brought together over 100 registered participants and featured contributions from leading experts, project partners, and digital solution providers. The session explored how smarter data-sharing practices and digital platforms can support the green transition in freight, particularly by enabling accurate emission tracking, improving operational transparency, and supporting regulatory compliance.
