Summary/Abstract: The road freight transport takes a leading place in the constantly digitalizing world. The contract of carriage is regulated by the Convention on the Contract of Carriage in Road Freight Transport (CMR Convention). The Convention settles the CMR like a basic transport document. In 2008; an Additional Protocol was adopted; which allows the use of an electronic consignment note. The aim of this paper is to analyze the terms - CMR and e-CMR; to make a comparison between them and to analyse the use in practice in the transport law. It will be explored what are the advantages and disadvantages by using of the e-CMR; and in which Member States of the European Union it is already applicable.
