The electronic consignment note (eCMR) is the digital version of the CMR document (Convention on the Contract for the International Carriage of Goods by Road), the international road freight transport contract governed by the 1956 Geneva Convention. Its electronic version is covered by the 2008 Additional Protocol, to which Spain is a signatory, and carries the same legal validity as the paper document.
The European Union has actively promoted its adoption as part of the transport digitalisation strategy: the eFTI Regulation (EU 2020/1056) on electronic freight transport information establishes the progressive obligation for competent authorities to accept — and eventually require — transport information in digital format. VECTOR enables eCMR issuance, signing and archiving with full legal validity, preparing your company for a regulatory environment that is already underway.
