The data indicates a consistent year-on-year decline in the transport of loaded and empty road freight in Germany from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 92.94 million units in 2024, it falls by 7.31% to 86.15 million in 2025, further dropping by 7.83% in 2026, 8.39% in 2027, and 9.08% in 2028. From the baseline figure of 2023, this represents a concerning downward trend.

Future trends to watch for:

Increasing fuel efficiency and alternative transport methods may reduce road freight volumes further.
Potential regulatory changes in the EU on emissions standards could impact the road freight industry.
Logistics innovations and digitalization could influence capacity and efficiency, altering road freight demand dynamics.
