The data indicates a consistent yearly decline in the number of lorries in France, each with a permissible maximum gross weight of at least 40,000 kg, from 2024 through 2028. In 2023, there were 58.79 lorries. By 2028, a noticeable decrease can be observed, with the figures dropping to 54.57 lorries. The year-on-year percentage decline is approximately 1.6% during this period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates an average annual reduction of around 1.8% over the five years.
Future trends to watch for include potential regulatory changes influencing vehicle weight limits, innovations in vehicle technology that may alter fleet composition, and shifts in the logistics industry, such as increased emphasis on sustainability and efficiency, which could impact the number of heavy lorries needed.
