The forecasted national transport of empty road freight in France is projected to decrease steadily from 2.58 billion vehicle-kilometers in 2024 to 2.22 billion vehicle-kilometers by 2028. This represents a consistent year-on-year reduction, with a cumulative decrease of approximately 14% over the five-year period. Based on the previous actual data from 2023, this trend likely reflects ongoing efforts towards optimizing freight transport, reducing emptiness in road freight runs, and improving logistical efficiency.
Looking ahead, future trends to watch for include:
- Technological advancements in transport logistics that further reduce empty runs.
- Changes in government policies promoting sustainable transport methods.
- Potential shifts in economic activities impacting freight demand.
- Adoption of alternative transportation modes that could influence road freight volumes.
