After careful evaluation, the EGIM and driveMybox management teams are convinced forming driveMybox logistics enables us to combine strengths to best digitise trucking operations in Germany and create value along the supply chain.”

Expanding digital trucking in Germany
The founding of driveMybox comes after the successful launch of railMybox as EGIM's digital rail transport solution in 2022. The new company will allow EGIM to integrate its rail and truck services and to offer customers comprehensive digital intermodal solutions. EGIM also aims to leverage its existing relationships with trucking companies to expand the network of trusted driveMybox carriers in Germany. Gordon Friza, CFO of driveMybox platform, remarked: “We are splitting driveMybox activities. The core focus of the platform will continue to be the technical development of digital solutions and expanding the usage of the platform globally. Simultaneously, driveMybox logistics is well positioned to operationally advance digital trucking in Germany."
