New regulation of vans in international courier services

New legislation will be introduced as of 1 July 2026, which means that vans will be covered by the rules for driving and rest periods for international journeys in the future. This will have an impact on how transports are planned and executed – and thus also for you as a customer. You can read more about the new legislation here via the button below.

At GLS Express, we are already actively working to adapt our setup so that we can continue to deliver efficient and reliable solutions. However, the changes entail some adjustments that it is important that you are aware of:

· Longer transit times may occur because of the new rules

· Increased requirements for documentation and planning in transport

· We are working on alternative transport solutions to ensure flexibility and a high level of service

We do our best to minimize the impact on you and are of course ready to advise on how to best adapt your logistics to the new framework.

If you have any questions or would like a transport request, you are always welcome to contact us. We are ready to advise you and ensure the optimal solution for transporting your goods to and from Europe - with high quality, strong service and full compliance with applicable legislation.

Is Express the right choice for you?

Not sure when to send your goods by express? GLS Express is relevant for you who experience the following:

Your shipment is urgent

At GLS, more than 98% of all parcels are delivered the day after we collect them from our customers. But if your parcel is very time-critical, with Express we can deliver your shipment the same day. Not only that, but we can collect your parcels up to 30 minutes after you book an Express collection.

You need to ship fragile goods

Does your shipment contain fragile items that require extra care but still need to arrive quickly?

At Express, we have the experience to move anything. That's why we can also help you if you need to transport particularly valuable or sensitive goods.

The consignment contains confidential documents

At GLS Express, we have trained drivers who understand the importance of your shipment's security.

The shipment cannot be sent with GLS Parcel

When your package exceeds the maximum weight for regular parcel delivery with GLS, Express is ready to help you. Whatever the weight, shape or size, we'll find a solution just for you.

If you don't think you need to send with Express, we of course also offer a wide range of solutions for those who simply want to send parcels with GLS.
