The latest EU Mobility Package could hit the availability of drivers across Europe at a time when the finished vehicle sector is struggling with recruitment and capacity
EU Mobility Package legislation aim to maintain standards supporting driver safety, fair competition and sustainable business practices, among other improvements, for the transport industry throughout the EU.
Despite the best intentions of its authors, however, overall the package has divided the industry and there are questions over whether the goals of the package are actually being met. More specifically, are wages being harmonised across Europe and are these new measures attracting new HGV drivers to the market?
