Uber Freight , the leading end-to-end enterprise suite powering intelligent logistics, today announced strong growth in its European Managed Transportation business, exceeding 200 million euro in freight under management (FUM) and setting a bold course for €2 billion by 2028. This fuels Uber Freight's global momentum, as the company now has surpassed $18 billion in freight under management worldwide, showcasing the extensive reach of its software and services. Uber Freight's investment and momentum across the continent positions the technology company as a breakout leader in 4PL services across Europe and lays the foundation for continued growth and expansion.
The European logistics market, which is expected to reach 1.17 trillion EUR by 2029 , is growing in both size and complexity.
