The national road freight volume of coal, lignite, crude petroleum, and natural gas in France is projected to increase steadily from 892.0 million tonne kilometers in 2024 to 917.0 million tonne kilometers in 2028. This represents an annual growth rate of about 0.70% to 0.90% year-on-year. As of 2023, this volume stood slightly below 892.0 million tonne kilometers, indicating a gradual upward trajectory driven by sustained demand in the energy sector.
Future trends to watch for:
- Impact of energy transition policies and their influence on fossil fuel demand.
- Technological advancements in freight transportation improving efficiency.
- Potential regulatory changes that could affect logistics operations.
