Nordic Logistics Association

This we do on behalf of around 17.000 operators and companies in the Nordic countries who are members of the founding associations of NLA.

NLA represents Danish Transport and Logistics (DTL), the Norwegian Road Transport Association (NLF) and the Swedish Association of Road Transport Companies (SÅ) in Brussels with support from its associated member Finnish Transport and Logistics SKAL. NLA was established to ensure that the common interests and positions of its Nordic haulier associations are promoted in close dialogue with the EU i

nstitutions and transport stakeholders in Brussels. Our aim is to constructively forward the views of the members of the founding associations in the relevant EU decision making processes, and thereby contribute to the work of improving the framework conditions for transport operators in the Nordic countries and beyond.

Thank you to the organisers of the Fair Transport and Labour Mobility Lunch at the European Parliament for bringing together policymakers, researchers, trade unions and employers for an important discussion on the future of European road transport.

I was pleased to contribute on behalf of the Nordic road transport industry, highlighting a few simple but important messages:

🔹Fair competition depends on effective enforcement.
🔹Strong rules only make a difference when they are properly enforced.
🔹The Nordic model demonstrates that attractive working conditions and a competitive transport sector can go hand in hand.

For all of this to happen, we need a strong social dialogue between the social partners.

And finally, EU Member States must prioritise sufficient resources to properly enforce the Mobility Package. 🚛🚚

Many thanks to my fellow speakers and panellists for a constructive and insightful debate, and to the Nordic Transport Workers' Federation for an excellent event.

Thanks also to Li Andersson and Johan Danielsson for hosting us.

The European Parliament is now finalising the text on the Weights and Dimensions directive.🇪🇺

As this legislation moves forward, we want to highlight a key point: allowing heavier, longer, and higher-capacity vehicles can make freight transport significantly more efficient.

More capacity means more pallets transported in a single trip, resulting in fewer journeys, better efficiency, and lower emissions.🚛🌍

Good discussions yesterday morning at our breakfast event in the European Parliament, organised together with the Common Road Transport Office (NLA, BGL, FNTR, TLN) and the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA), as negotiations on the Weights and Dimensions Directive move forward. ☕🇪🇺

For NLA, the message is straightforward: longer and heavier vehicle combinations are one of the most effective tools we have to increase productivity, move more goods with fewer drivers, and reduce emissions per pallet transported. All while supporting a parallel transition to battery electric trucks. 🚚🚛

Importantly, this is not about choosing one transport mode over another. Road, rail and maritime complement each other and all play an essential role in Europe’s logistics system.

A more efficient road sector will only help to strengthen intermodal solutions in Europe, benefitting the entire logistical system.

A big thank you to MEPs, truck manufacturers, EU Member States and colleagues who contributed to an open, candid and constructive discussion. Not least many thanks to Dirk Saile from BGL for facilitating and organising the meeting with ACEA.
