The forecast for empty national road freight transport volume in Germany from 2024 to 2028 shows a steady decline. Starting at 1.2 billion vehicle-kilometers in 2024, the volume decreases each year, reaching 1.05 billion by 2028. Assuming a base of 1.25 billion vehicle-kilometers in 2023, this indicates a consistent downward trend with an average annual decrease.

Future trends to watch for include:

Technological advancements in logistics that could further optimize freight scheduling, reducing empty runs.
Sustainability initiatives pushing for more efficient transport networks.
Potential regulatory changes impacting transport operations and efficiency.
