GosLog National Digital Transport and Logistics Platform (NCTLP)

2026

Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin approved the launch of the GosLog national transport and logistics IT platform. Structure

In February 2026, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed a decree approving the launch of the Russian digital transport and logistics platform GosLog. The platform will become a single ecosystem for business and state interaction in the field of cargo transportation.

As reported on the official government portal, GosLog will function as a one-window service, combining digital logistics services. Market participants will be able to receive permits and shipping documents through it, which will speed up and increase the volume of supplies of goods. A feature of the platform will be end-to-end digital control of goods on the route from the sender to the recipient.

The platform functionality will be implemented through a number of specialized information subsystems, including:

• "Digital Transport Passport";
• Single window mechanisms;
• "Member Digital Profile";
• "Information Interaction";
• "Giving Legal Significance";
• "Maintenance of registers of transport and logistics infrastructure facilities and vehicles";
• "Unified Geoinformation System";
• "Information Security";
• "Unified Reference Information Base."

The operator of the new platform will be the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation. The first stage of the implementation of GosLog will be the launch of a register of notifications about expeditionary activities from March 1, 2026. Individual entrepreneurs and organizations will be able to register in the system through their personal account on the Public services portal.

As Mikhail Mishustin explained, the introduction of modern digital tools will allow more accurate modeling of transport flows and making decisions on infrastructure modernization. The Prime Minister stressed that ensuring digital traceability of goods in real time will increase the security of logistics operations.^[1]

The Ministry of Transport is assessed for work on the creation of the GosLog platform. What will be included in it

As TAdviser discovered, in the first half of January 2026 , the Ministry of Transport requested price proposals for the creation of the federal state information system GosLog, which will combine digital logistics services and serve as "one window" for communication between the state and carriers. According to information from the request page in the UIS "Procurement," the department plans to conduct the purchase itself later in January or February^[2]

The terms of reference published with the request for prices lists the goals of creating the platform:

• ensuring centralized control over compliance by legal entities and individual entrepreneurs with the requirements of the legislation of the Russian Federation for the implementation of transportation and expeditionary activities, as well as for verification of information from the register to allow these persons to participate in the transportation process;
• creation and centralized maintenance of the register of legal entities and individual entrepreneurs engaged in transportation and expeditionary activities;
• optimization of interaction procedures between legal entities and individual entrepreneurs engaged in transportation and expeditionary activities, and FNIV, including within the framework of control and supervisory activities;
• improving the safety of freight traffic in connection with the legalization of the market and control over the implementation of expeditionary activities;
• increase in tax revenues from legal entities and individual entrepreneurs engaged in transportation and expeditionary activities;
• high level of digitalisation of the transportation process.

The functional architecture of the platform is also given there:

The platform will not be created from scratch. For example, one of its subsystems, the "Digital Profile of the Participant," will be developed using technical solutions of the previously implemented AIS "Digital Profile of the Carrier" (AIS DSP). It includes, in particular, subsystems for collecting data from external information systems - for the possibility of connecting data sources using various information exchange technologies; formation of a list of legal entities engaged in passenger transportation and cargo transportation by road (with the exception of taxis); Data storage, analytics, and visualization aggregation of the data received in the AIS DSP in relation to the carrier's digital profile; calculation of performance indicators of carriers by criteria. Also, the AIS CPP already has a personal account of the carrier and reporting on carriers is available.

In addition, the DSP AIS has a subsystem for providing data: it provides information to external consumers.

At the same time, the functionality of the "Digital Participant Profile" based on the AIS DSP will be much wider. And in addition to it, within the framework of the GosLog project, three more subsystems will have to be developed: Unified NSI Database, System Diagnostics and Administration, Information Interaction with External Systems, Information Security.

GosLog should operate on the following customer-provided certified solutions: Deckhouse or Basis containerization system, Red Virtualization or Basis virtualization system, DBMSostgres Pro Enterprise, RedOS or Alt Server operating systems.

GosLog, we recall, is being created on behalf of the President of Russia and will become part of a federal project to digitalize the transport industry. The platform is expected to help reduce transportation costs by 16.5% by 2030 and increase the share of electronic documents to 90%. As previously noted in the Ministry of Transport, "GosLog" is one of the largest projects of the department recently^[3] Transport and^[4]

2025

Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law on the creation of a register of freight carriers

At the end of December 2025, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law that provides for the creation of a single register of road freight carriers in Russia. According to the law, from March 1, 2027, mandatory registration of all companies and individual entrepreneurs that are engaged in road cargo transportation is introduced. We are talking about vehicles weighing over 3.5 tons. The register will be maintained by Rostransnadzor on the GosLog digital platform. It will include information about the carrier: name and address, data on vehicles, types of transported goods, the amount of insurance coverage and a link to the site. Much of that information will be publicly available.^[5]

Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin appointed the Ministry of Transport as the operator of the GosLog platform

The Ministry of Transport will be empowered to develop state policy and legal regulation in the field of transport and expeditionary activities. The agency was determined by the operator of the national digital transport and logistics platform GosLog. On August 19, 2025, the draft resolution was adopted by the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Mishustin. From March 1, 2026, the Register of Freight Forwarders will begin to function on the platform. Legal entities and individual entrepreneurs engaged in expeditionary activities will be registered.^[6]

The Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation spoke about the national transport IT platform, which will dramatically speed up international transportation of goods

A national IT transport platform is being created in Russia, which will dramatically speed up international cargo transportation. Deputy Minister of Transport Andrei Nikitin announced an accelerated transition to a national transport logistics platform on June 19, 2025.

According to Vedomosti, Russian carriers will significantly reduce the time for the transportation of goods in international transport corridors due to the new system. On June 7, 2025, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law regulating expeditionary activities.

From September 2026, the electronic format for key transport documents will become mandatory for everyone. The Russian government has taken several steps towards the digitalization of the transport industry in the country.

Nikitin noted that the transition to mandatory electronic document management will make it possible to find out what, where and for how long it is transported within the country and exported abroad. By collecting additional data, the ministry will form a logistics platform.

The platform, when interacting with other digital subsystems, will allow carriers to significantly reduce the time for delivery of goods. One-window mode will free companies from paperwork when registering and delivering goods.

This will allow companies to significantly reduce the time for processing the necessary documents. The Russian logistics platform should interface with the systems of Russia's BRICS partners.

Carriers will be able to transport goods without the need to stop at the border. Nikitin stressed the importance of a technical alliance with partners for the work of all ideas.

The national digital transport and logistics platform is being created as a state information system. It defines uniform standards of digital interaction for all participants in transport and logistics activities and government bodies.^[7]

Russian President Vladimir Putin approved the launch of a single register of forwarding companies. It will work on the GosLog platform

Russian President Vladimir Putin in June 2025 signed a law providing for the creation of a single register of forwarding companies. The new mechanism for controlling cargo transportation involves the registration of all participants in transportation and expeditionary activities on the GosLog platform. Read more here.

2024

A unified digital register of road carriers is being created in Russia

In Russia, from March 1, 2025, it is planned to introduce a unified electronic register of freight carriers called GosLog. As part of this project, a single digital register of road carriers will be created. This was announced in July 2024 by the head of the State Duma Committee on Transport and the Development of Transport Infrastructure Yevgeny Moskvichev.

According to the relevant committee of the State Duma, in May 2024, only 20% of the total number of owners notify the authorities about the start of transportation activities. The new system is designed to strengthen control over transportation due to the increase in the number of accidents with trucks and to combat "gray" tax evasion schemes covering 60% of the volume of cargo transportation.

The GosLog register will have to include data on carriers (legal entities and individual entrepreneurs) and their vehicles with a maximum weight of over 3.5 tons. Also, the list will include information on the transported goods and the maximum insured amount.

Vadim Filatov, head of the Association of Road Freight Carriers and Freight Forwarders, noted that the introduction of the system will help increase the safety of cargo transportation and will be an important step towards increasing the transparency of the industry.

It is expected that the creation of a single platform will simplify the processes of document exchange at the international level and will contribute to improving interstate cooperation. The system involves the use of electronic navigation seals for continuous monitoring of cargo movement.

However, experts in the automotive industry note a number of potential difficulties in implementing the system. Among them are the need for standardization and coordination between various market participants, issues of security and data protection, as well as a possible increase in the administrative and financial burden on carriers.^[8]

Integration with trucking systems in China and India

On July 8, 2024, it became known that the Russian digital national platform for cargo transportation would be able to interact with similar systems in China and India. It is assumed that integration will simplify trade between countries.

According to the Kommersant newspaper, citing information received from market participants, the national platform will help partially solve the problems of the lack of electronic exchange of transport documents and permits between the BRICS, SCO and ASEAN states. In addition, transportation documents, including their content, can be unified. The system will provide seamless multimodal transportation, designed in full electronic form. The need to increase the transparency of processes is due to the reorientation of transport flows of the Russian Federation to the East due to the formed geopolitical situation.

At the same time, industry participants point to a number of potential difficulties in terms of connecting corporate cargo support systems with the state platform. The fact is that most logistics companies are actively developing their own software solutions: digitalization at the federal level will require the restructuring of such systems. It is also said that the issues of border formalities during transportation of the company are solved independently, accumulating a certain experience. The question of "how much it can and will be taken into account when docking the federal system with foreign logistics operators remains open."

The founder of the digital transport company Deliver Danil Rudakov believes that there will be no difficulties in "docking" systems, since its "platform is built on various integrations and is ready for them." Rudakov adds that the digitization of road cargo transportation by the state will be able to largely "whitewash" the market and remove gray schemes.^[9]

Decree on the experiment on the creation, testing and implementation of a digital platform

The chairman Governments Mikhail Mishustin signed a decree on an experiment to create, test and implement a national digital transportlogistic platform. This was announced on July 5, 2024 by TAdviser representatives. Associations "Digital Transport and Logistics"

According to them, the platform is being created to increase the efficiency of domestic business in the field of freight transportation by using digital solutions and services for integrating state and corporate platforms. It is expected that the creation of the platform will contribute to interaction with similar systems of friendly countries, as well as an increase in the capacity of port and transport and logistics infrastructure. This is especially true in connection with the reorientation of transport flows to the East and the increased trade in this direction, the association emphasized.

The operator of the digital platform within the framework of the experiment was determined by the Ministry of Transport of Russia. The system will be developed by the Federal State Budgetary Institution "SIC of the Ministry of Transport of Russia" (Situation and Information Center).

Testing of the information system is scheduled for the period from August 1, 2024 to June 1, 2025 on a voluntary basis. One of the goals of the work is the introduction of electronic document management at all stages of cargo transportation, which are carried out by road, sea, river, railway and air transport.

In addition, as part of the experiment, the technology for providing permits and shipping documents through the "one window" mechanism will be tested. Thus, one of the main problems of the transport and logistics industry as of 2024 is the lack of a unified mechanism for the exchange of transportation, permits and shipping documents. Market participants need to provide many documents when transporting goods (117 for import, 150 for export).

"The national transport and logistics platform is one of the largest digital projects in the industry, contributing to the integration of Russia into the international trade space. The purpose of the experiment is to check several multimodal routes, identify bottlenecks where there is no exchange of documents in electronic format between business participants and federal executive bodies, "said Dmitry Bakanov, Deputy Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation.

As he added, it is also important to find out the reasons for breaking chains and develop mechanisms to solve them. Based on the test results, changes in the regulatory framework will be proposed and standards for the exchange of data between participants in the transportation will be developed.

To work out routes and information interaction between market participants, including representatives of a large transport and logistics business, on behalf of the Ministry of Transport of Russia under the Association "Digital Transport and Logistics" a working group was formed to create a platform.

"The platform is created at the request of logistics market participants, this is a common global task that we must solve jointly in the interests of both business and the state. Today, interaction is far from everywhere in electronic form, somewhere there are paper documents, somewhere different standards are used, there is no traceability of transported goods along their entire route. It is these problems that the platform should solve, and the experiment will make it possible to more accurately determine the "bottlenecks," - commented Polina Davydova, director of the Digital Transport and Logistics Association.

In her opinion, the platform will allow businesses to solve operational issues, while it is necessary to determine on what principles it will work, as well as integrate with other countries.

Another task is to form an electronic rating of cargo carriers in order to provide state authorities and market players with reliable data on the participants of the platform.

In addition, during the tests, it is planned to work out the interaction of the digital platform with the existing information systems of large carriers.

According to Dmitry Gorshkov, director of the Federal State Budgetary Institution "SIC of the Ministry of Transport of Russia," the key task in developing the platform is to create a trusted environment for data exchange between business and the state, use the most modern technologies, and ensure national technological sovereignty.

It is assumed that the participants in the experiment will include executive authorities, shippers, freight forwarders, carriers, consignees, operators of railway rolling stock and owners of railway transport infrastructure, operators of information systems of electronic transportation documents.

In general, it is expected that the creation of a national digital transport and logistics platform will contribute to the achievement of the national development goal "Digital transformation of state and municipal administration, economy and social sphere," which is determined by presidential decree in May 2024.

Creation of the GosLog single window platform, which will unite all GIS in the field of transport and logistics

In early April 2024, it became known that a national digital transport and logistics platform GosLog and an electronic register of notifications about the transportation of goods were being created in Russia. The goals of the project are the formation of legal conditions and mechanisms that ensure the protection of the interests of consumers of transport services, as well as improving the quality and safety of cargo transportation by road.

It is noted that GosLog is a single window digital platform, which includes digital products, information, state information systems operating in the field of transport, as well as a set of regulatory legal, organizational, methodological rules and procedures that ensure the activities of transport market participants. In turn, the register of notifications is a database containing information about legal entities and individual entrepreneurs who reported on the provision of services for the transportation of goods, as well as on the vehicles used by them.

In accordance with the new requirements, legal entities and entrepreneurs are obliged to notify the authorized body about the start of activities for the transportation of goods on a commercial basis, including using a trailer or semi-trailer. The right to carry out the relevant activities is granted from the moment of registration of the notification in the register.

The GosLog platform is created by the federal executive body, "which performs the functions of developing state policy and legal regulation in the field of transport." At the same time, the Government of the Russian Federation approves the composition of participants in information interaction, the composition of information posted in the information system, as well as the procedure, timing and methods of exchanging information between industry participants.^[10]

2023

Introduction of the National Digital Platform for Trucking

The architecture of the National Digital Platform for Cargo Transportation (NCTLP) was presented on December 19, 2023. The first NCTLP services for cargo carriers will be available in 2024.

The appearance and architecture of NCTLP was formed Ministry of Transport of Russia with the direct participation of a large transportlogistic business at the site of the Association "Digital Transport and Logistics."

NCTLP is designed to combine digital logistics services of cargo carriers on one platform, to become a kind of "one-stop shop" service for interaction between the state, carriers and their customers. The creation of a unified system will simplify interaction between all links of the supply chain, will allow abandoning outdated document exchange formats (by creating a single, legally significant electronic document flow), and will also reduce the total cost of transportation and allow shippers to choose the most optimal transportation routes. In addition, the carrier will receive instant access to data on the state of transport infrastructure facilities, their workload, and will help predict traffic flows.

The basic architecture of NCTPL will include the Portal of services for interaction with federal and regional authorities, local authorities, the Block of functional subsystems, the Unified Database, the Portal of commercial services for the work of shippers, consignees, carriers and logistics operators, the Platform information interaction subsystem for interaction with other state information systems and foreign logistics platforms.

The first platform services will appear in 2024. The main services of the NCTPL ecosystem will be:

• "Single Window" for issuing transportation, shipping and permitting documents;
• Digital profile of the platform participant;
• Provision of information on cargo movement;
• Provision of data on transportation and transportation and logistics infrastructure facilities.

What we are doing is a global change in the transport and logistics industry. Business is ready to change its business models, conduct pilot projects. We must all understand that this is a challenge that we are sure we will cope with. A global challenge, since there are no examples of such a platform in the world, "said Deputy Minister of Transport of Russia Dmitry Bakanov at the presentation of the platform architecture.

Large businesses are ready to invest in the refinement of their corporate systems so that they can be integrated with the created national platform. They see an interest in this and ask to create the very "one window." In the working group on NCTPL, we strive to ensure that it is possible to submit all documents that are of interest to the control and supervisory authorities to the "single window" and get the approval notes there. At one time, we in the working group calculated that cargo carriers need to provide 150 documents when importing cargo into the country and 117 when exporting. These are documents in completely different formats for various systems of government agencies, in which the same information is duplicated. Therefore, it is so important to create a "single window" that it will remove duplication and reduce the time for submitting and checking documents. We have been raising this issue for 5 years, but right now we see interest from the federal authorities, "said Polina Davydova, director of the Digital Transport and Logistics Association.

NCTLP will be the next stage in the digital transformation of the transport industry. In 2022, the State Information System of Electronic Transportation Documents (GIS EPD), which is the basis for the digital transformation of the industry, was put into operation and is now actively developing. The next priority tasks for the development of GIS EPD are integration with the system of Russian Railways ETRAN and digitalization of documents for sea transportation. This creates the necessary conditions for the transition to digital business models of multimodal freight transportation.

The next stage of the industry digital transformation in the field of freight transportation is both larger and more ambitious. In accordance with the instructions of the President of the Russian Federation with the participation of domestic business, the appearance and architecture of the national digital transport and logistics platform is being formed at the site of the Digital Transport and Logistics Association. The goal is to form a single national digital space in the field of transport and logistics services in the interests of the state and business, including in the implementation of international transportation.

The work of the NCTLP in the future is planned to be linked to the digital national logistics platforms of the BRICS and SCO countries, for example, with the Chinese Logink and Indian ULIP.

NCTLP is being developed under the auspices of the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation in cooperation with big business (OTLC ERA, FESCO, DeloTech (part of the Delo group of companies), PEK, Business Lines, Eurosib and others are involved), as well as the Association "Digital Transport and Logistics."

NCTPL Research and Planning Competition

The Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation is creating a National Digital Transport and Logistics Platform (NCTLP), which will allow information to be exchanged with ASEAN, BRICS, SCO and EAEU countries. This became known in early July 2023.

As Vedomosti writes with reference to materials on the public procurement website, the Ministry of Transport announced a competition for research and planning of the NCTLP and is ready to pay the contractor 57 million rubles. According to the newspaper, the creation of the platform is planned in the transport strategy until 2030. The document was approved by government order at the end of November 2021, according to the description of the competition of the Ministry of Transport. The purpose of the system is to provide "seamless cargo logistics." This implies the widespread use of electronic navigation seals that transmit information about the location of the vehicle and provide control over access to the cargo compartment, as well as the end-to-end exchange of electronic documents at the interstate level and the creation of digital platforms for ordering cargo transportation, logistics services and e-commerce services.

Ministry of Transport creates logistics IT platform for data exchange with ASEAN, BRICS, SCO and EAEU countries

According to experts interviewed by the publication, by July 2023 in Russia there is not a single base for transport and logistics infrastructure facilities, no single standards for document management and solutions for end-to-end cargo monitoring when changing vehicles. The development of the National Digital Transport and Logistics Platform can cost the government 1 billion rubles, experts say.

General Director of Infoline Analytics Mikhail Burmistrov says that in 2022-2023. logistics has completely changed and transport flows have reoriented, and by July 2023, the list of countries with which the main trade is carried out has become clear, and this is precisely the EAEU, SCO, BRICS.^[11]
