The 2023 data shows that Italy has the highest number of lorries over 40,000 kg in Europe, with a significant margin over other countries like Poland and Finland. Poland, however, recorded a 6.17% increase from the previous year, indicating a strong upward trend. Other countries like Sweden and Hungary also showed growth, albeit at a slower pace. Countries like France and Austria experienced a decline, while Portugal registered the highest growth rate among the smaller markets.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Continued growth in Poland and Portugal, potentially driven by increased industrial demand.
- A stabilization or slight decline in Italy, given the negative growth recorded.
- Potential recovery opportunities for France and Austria if economic conditions improve.
