e-Freight denotes the electronic flow of information, associating the physical flow of goods to regulatory or commercial decision support systems. It includes the ability to track and trace freight along its journey across transport modes and to automate the exchange of cargo-related data between stakeholders.

The Blueprint for e-Freight Solutions is the e-Freight Framework
• A Reference Model de-composing the transport and logistics domain into manageable subdomains
• Functions performed by roles pertinent to each sub-domain• Processes of the key functions in the transport and logistics domain• Information models structuring the information being exchanged into standardised

Unique Value Propositions
• Connectivity Infrastructure offering for the first time ever the possibility to transport stakeholder to connect together without use of centralised platforms
• Process integration based on e-Freight reference processes
• Automated compliance for shippers, freight forwarders, port and terminal operators and carriers
• Solution Building Blocks so that end users can choose what they need from simple connectivity to full optimisation of their operations

‘Next Generation Single Window’
• Unified solution for regulatory information management at both National and EU levels
• Allowing:₋ Business to report using the same form to all
authorities, independent of mode and transportation route, and
₋ authorities to share information policy implementation co-operation in security, safety and environmental
risk management.
