Uber Technologies (UBER) announced Tuesday that its Uber Freight subsidiary will significantly expand its European fourth-party logistics business across multiple fronts.
The expansion includes new investment in operations, dedicated product and engineering resources, and a second European location set to open in Krakow, Poland.
The move is designed to serve Uber Freight’s North American customers who already operate across Europe and want to consolidate their global logistics partnerships.
Uber Freight values the European road freight market at approximately €440 billion, representing a substantial commercial opportunity for the company.
Trucks moved 13.3 billion tons of goods across the EU in 2025 alone, underscoring the scale and complexity of the logistics landscape the company is targeting.
Uber Freight doubled the number of new 4PL deals won in Europe during 2025, signaling strong early momentum for the business in the region.
The company already runs an established 4PL operation in Europe, with existing infrastructure based in the Netherlands serving as the foundation for this broader push.
That European business became part of Uber Freight through its acquisition of Transplace, and it operates separately from the European freight brokerage business the company divested in 2020.
To lead the expanded European effort, Uber Freight has appointed Mike Doucleff, who brings over two decades of experience building businesses across the US and Europe.
Most recently, Doucleff led the US market entry for Alpitronic, a European manufacturer of high-performance electric vehicle fast-charging systems.
He is scheduled to officially join Uber Freight on September 28, stepping into the role as the company accelerates its regional ambitions.
On Monday, UBER shares closed at $70.94 on the New York Stock Exchange, up 0.48% on the day.
