Volvo Trucks and connected‑vehicle software specialist AiDEN Auto announced on 4 November 2026 that they have integrated Romania’s mandatory RO e‑Transport reporting into Volvo’s in‑cab infotainment and the Volvo Connect fleet portal. The press release said the RO e‑Trans application lets drivers and fleet managers monitor and maintain compliance with Romania’s e‑Transport rules in real time without leaving the cab or using secondary mobile devices.

How RO e‑Trans works

The system synchronises Unique Transport Identification (UIT) codes — generated through Romania’s ANAF Virtual Private Space (SPV) — with a compatible Volvo truck’s side display and uses the vehicle’s factory modem to stream the mandated real‑time GPS reporting. AiDEN’s product page cites Emergency Ordinance No. 41/2022 as the legal basis and notes carriers must transmit continuous positioning for regulated journeys in vehicles of at least 2.5 tonnes MAM; non‑compliance carries roadside penalties and possible cargo confiscation. The integration is delivered as factory‑embedded software and removes the need for aftermarket OBD dongles or separate mobile apps.

According to Volvo and AiDEN, the service is available on Volvo trucks equipped with the manufacturer’s latest side display (models from 2021 onwards) and will be activated via Volvo’s dealer network. The companies said the initial rollout targets Volvo customers in Romania and the Czech Republic, with broader European availability planned.

What this means for the market

For hauliers operating in and through Romania, the factory‑embedded approach removes the operational friction of passing UIT codes to drivers by paper or message and reduces dependence on retrofitted trackers that can fail or void warranties. AiDEN’s CEO Niclas Gyllenram said: "Our goal has always been to make connected vehicle technology work more efficiently for the people who rely on it every day." The company adds that the software approach can cut administrative steps by synchronising ANAF SPV codes directly with vehicle telematics.

Volvo Trucks framed the move as an expansion of its Volvo Connect services. Annelie Norhav, Services Partnership Manager at Volvo Trucks, said the integration helps “simplify compliance and support efficient daily operations” for drivers and fleet managers. Embedded compliance also addresses a practical market need: Romania’s RO e‑Transport regime remains mandatory for many consignments and requires reliable continuous reporting, which mixed‑fleet operators have found awkward to manage across different aftermarket solutions.

Commercially, the feature strengthens the value proposition of factory‑equipped connected trucks for cross‑border operators that move goods into or through Romania. By moving national reporting into the OEM ecosystem, Volvo and AiDEN create a potential competitive advantage for Volvo‑equipped fleets — while also raising a question for mixed‑fleet hauliers that will continue to rely on third‑party telematics until other manufacturers adopt comparable integrations.
