Germany: largest absolute growth in international

road freight transport demand, 2007

Flows in international road freight transport

Germany, Spain, France, UK, Italy and Poland

dominated the demand for road freight

transport (tonnes loaded and unloaded) in 2007,

accounting for 70% of the European total.

Germany was the main partner in all types of

transport.

International transport flows accounted for 5%

of the total and Germany showed the biggest

absolute growth in international road freight

transport. The fast relative growth in Poland

(17%) was outstripped by even stronger rises in

some of the other new Member States, notably

Slovakia, Latvia and Hungary.

Germany and France appeared in 14 of the top

18 intra EU-27 country to country flows.

The

Netherlands and Belgium with their major ports

were also big players. Polish hauliers emerged

as strong competitors, appearing as the main

third country hauliers in 8 of the top 18 country

to country flows.

Outside the EU-27, Switzerland, Norway and

Russia were the main markets. Sweden and

Finland were important actors in this arena.

A complete overview of statistics on road freight

transport is available in Eurostat’s free

dissemination database (see last page).
