In 2023, Germany led European road freight transport of equipment in non-mountain regions at 77.05 million metric tons, yet it declined by 1.43% from the previous year. The Netherlands followed at 39.12 million metric tons, showing robust growth of 5.18%. Sweden also had significant volume at 21.83 million but decreased by 2.21%. Notable declines were observed in the Czech Republic (-8.31%) and Austria (-13.79%), while Latvia and Luxembourg experienced substantial growth at 12.26% and 5.68%, respectively. Over the past five years, the compounded annual growth rate reflects varying trends across these countries, underlying regional variances in freight transport demand and infrastructure development.
Future trends of interest include increased focus on digitalization and sustainability, as logistical efficiency and carbon reduction become priorities. EU policies around green logistics and digital transformation could affect growth rates, influencing competitiveness among countries. Additionally, emerging trade routes and geopolitical shifts may reshape the landscape of road freight in non-mountain regions of Europe.
