Entering into force in 2022, the “Combined Transport By-law” is an important step in ensuring
Türkiye’s transition to a sustainable and green future in national and international logistics. This
By-law aims to encourage more environmentally friendly modes of transport, such as rail and
maritime, by reducing the dependence on road transport.
Objectives of the By-law:

y Reducing environmental impacts and increasing energy efficiency in transport and logistics,

y Reducing carbon emissions and air pollution,

y Promoting green logistics practices,
y Ensuring holism and fair access in transport and logistics,

y Improving the quality of transport and logistics infrastructure,

y Making Türkiye a regional transit center for international freight flows.
The Main Elements of the By-law can be listed as follows:

y Green Logistics Certificate: It is given to Transport Organisers (TIO) that meet certain criteria
such as performing at least 200 combined freight transport trips per year, meeting at least
5% of energy consumption from renewable energy sources.

y Combined Transport Expedition Certificate: Required for freight transport voyages using at
least two of the following modes: road, maritime, railway and airway.

y Incentives and Supports: The Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure offers various incenti-
ves and supports to TIOs holding Green Logistics Certificate.
