• Morocco signed a partnership with CDG and CDG Incept to deploy a digital road transport platform under the “Digital Morocco 2030” strategy.
• The platform will include a digital chronotachograph system capable of tracking vehicle speed, driving times and geolocation data in real time.
• Moroccan authorities aim to improve road safety, modernize logistics management and digitize administrative services for transport operators.

Road transport handles the majority of freight exchanges in Morocco, and authorities are accelerating the sector’s digital transformation to modernize logistics management and improve road safety.

Sector data show that road transport accounts for more than 75% of freight flows in Morocco and remains a key pillar of the country’s logistics industry. At the same time, rising trade volumes and growing traffic are pushing Moroccan authorities to digitize the sector in order to modernize administrative services, strengthen transport monitoring and improve road safety.

Against this backdrop, the Ministry of Transport and Logistics signed a partnership agreement on Thursday, May 15, in Rabat with Caisse de Dépôt et de Gestion (CDG) and its subsidiary CDG Incept. The agreement aims to support the implementation of the road transport digital roadmap under the national “Digital Morocco 2030” strategy.

The partnership includes the development of an integrated digital platform dedicated to road transport operations. The system will incorporate a digital chronotachograph capable of tracking several categories of vehicle data in real time, including speed, distance traveled, driving time and the geolocation of trucks and buses.

According to Transport and Logistics Minister Abdessamad Kayouh, the solution will allow drivers and transport companies to monitor operations more accurately through digital tools while simplifying access to administrative services.

In addition, users will be able to complete certain procedures remotely through a centralized platform instead of traveling to ministry offices.

Moroccan authorities also intend to use the new digital tools to strengthen road safety enforcement. Morocco still records several thousand road accidents every year.

According to the National Road Safety Agency (NARSA), the country registered more than 143,000 traffic accidents involving injuries in 2024, resulting in more than 4,000 deaths.

Authorities expect digital monitoring of driving times and vehicle movements to help reduce violations linked to driver fatigue, speeding and breaches of traffic regulations.

The digital transformation also aligns with Morocco’s broader logistics modernization strategy. According to the Ministry of Transport, the sector contributes about 5% of national GDP and plays a strategic role in the kingdom’s trade exchanges with Europe and Africa.

Moreover, the expansion of port infrastructure, particularly around the Tanger Med complex, has increased demand for digital solutions capable of improving cargo traceability and logistics-chain efficiency.

For CDG, the project represents an initial phase in the ministry’s broader administrative digitalization process. The implementation work is expected to last about six months.

Ultimately, Moroccan authorities aim to build a digital ecosystem capable of improving road transport governance, streamlining operations and bringing public services closer to businesses and citizens.
