(04 June 2020) – With over 2 500 downloads since it was launched at the start of May, the Galileo Green Lane app is proving to be popular with truck drivers.
Developed by the European GNSS Agency (GSA) in collaboration with the European Commission, the app is a key tool in the EU’s COVID-19 pandemic response.
By easing traffic flow through the EU’s internal borders, the app is helping to support a fundamental EU principle – the free movement of goods and freight in the internal market.
The Galileo Green Lane app uses the positioning services of Galileo – Europe’s Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) – to monitor and facilitate the free movement of freight, making it possible to reduce waiting times at the EU’s internal land borders and facilitate the transport of goods.
