UK Transport and Logistics AI Readability 2026
As of 1 October 2026, the median UK transport and logistics site scored 44 out of 100 on the Crane Index™, the measure of how readably a site presents itself to AI engines. Across the 107 sites a machine could read, scores ran from 19 to 73, a 54-point gap between the strongest and the weakest.
What this measures. The score reads how readably a site presents itself to AI engines: entity markup, structured data and machine resolvability. It is not a measure of design, brand or quality. A site can look excellent to a person and still be hard for a machine to read, and a low score is a readability finding, never a judgement on the business.
The field in 2026
The field was led by Agility at 73, with c2c next at 72. 3 sites cleared 70 out of 100, and 37 scored below 40.
At the foot of the field sat Groupe ADP at 19, Great Western Railway at 20, FedEx at 22. Each is a site a machine struggled to read, not a business doing anything other than well at what it does.
The full 2026 ranking
Composite out of 100, with the three reads behind it: AI Search Readiness (retrieval), Agent Readiness (execution) and Brand Representation.
