Goods vehicles hired without drivers
The current EU rules provide to haulage companies the possibility to use hired vehicles, but also allow Member States to restrict this.

As co-legislators, the European Parliament and the Council have agreed new rules in October 2021 ...
Utilización de vehículos alquilados sin conductor en el transporte de mercancías por carretera
Conforme a las normas actuales de la Unión, las empresas de transporte pueden utilizar vehículos alquilados, si bien los Estados miembros también pueden restringir esta posibilidad.

The use of hired vehicles without drivers for the carriage of goods by road
European legislation on the use of hired vehicles without drivers for the carriage of goods by road has been in operation for 25 years. Directive 2006/1/EC includes legal provisions from the 1980s that reflect the needs of the sector at that time. Today, this legislation should be reviewed to correspond to operators’ actual needs, as well as to align with the latest issues in the haulage market sector and with current EU policy priorities.
