The forecast for the empty national road freight transport volume in Germany indicates a steady increase from 2024 to 2028, starting at 4.93 billion vehicle-kilometers in 2024 and reaching 5.04 billion vehicle-kilometers by 2028. This reflects minor growth rates year-on-year, with the volume in 2023 being the last confirmed data point. Observing a consistent upward trend suggests a stable but slow expansion in this segment over the forecast period.

Future trends to watch for include:

Technological advancements in logistics optimizing route efficiency and minimizing empty vehicle-kilometers.
Influences of environmental policies potentially altering transport practices.
Industry shifts towards more sustainable transport methods impacting national freight volumes and strategies.
