New regulation of vans in international courier services
New legislation will be introduced as of 1 July 2026, which means that vans will be covered by the rules for driving and rest periods for international journeys in the future. This will have an impact on how transports are planned and executed – and thus also for you as a customer. You can read more about the new legislation here via the button below.
At GLS Express, we are already actively working to adapt our setup so that we can continue to deliver efficient and reliable solutions. However, the changes entail some adjustments that it is important that you are aware of:
· Longer transit times may occur because of the new rules
· Increased requirements for documentation and planning in transport
· We are working on alternative transport solutions to ensure flexibility and a high level of service
We do our best to minimize the impact on you and are of course ready to advise on how to best adapt your logistics to the new framework.
If you have any questions or would like a transport request, you are always welcome to contact us. We are ready to advise you and ensure the optimal solution for transporting your goods to and from Europe - with high quality, strong service and full compliance with applicable legislation.
