EU -funded research initiative MODI aims to improve Europe ’s logistics sector through increased automation.

The ultimate goal is to reach so-called “ Level 4” automation , where vehicles drive within predefined geographical areas without the need for humans on board.

By 2028 , Europe could be short of 745 000 truck drivers 17% of the total required workforce.

MODI ’s primary focus is the 1 200-kilometre road corridor from Rotterdam in the Netherlands to Oslo in Norway .

This route spans four national borders and, since Norway is not part of the EU , it also involves navigating customs and toll clearance between EU and non-EU territories.

MODI researchers are also testing technological solutions in port areas along the corridor.
