BALM

Federal Office for Logistics and Mobility. It is a German federal authority responsible for a wide range of tasks in the areas of transport, logistics and mobility. The authority was created in 2021 through the restructuring and expansion of the former Federal Office for Goods Transport (BAG).

Tasks of the BALM:

• Monitoring freight transport: BALM monitors road freight transport, including compliance with safety and environmental regulations, as well as drivers’ driving and rest periods.
• Funding programs for sustainable mobility: BALM is involved in the allocation of funding for environmentally friendly technologies and the improvement of transport infrastructure.
• Toll collection: The authority monitors the collection of the truck toll on German highways and certain federal highways.
• Mobility and logistics strategies: It supports the development and implementation of mobility and logistics strategies to make transportation more sustainable and efficient.

Through its work, BALM contributes to the safety and efficiency of the transportation system in Germany and at the same time promotes environmentally friendly developments in mobility and logistics.

We, Falk Albrecht GmbH, as a German freight forwarder, are in constant contact with BALM in all areas of logistics.
