In 2024, Germany remains the leader in national road freight volume of dangerous goods at 10.72 billion tonne kilometers, followed closely by Spain and France. The analysis of year-on-year variation reveals Poland's robust growth at 8.74%, with the Czech Republic not far behind at 11.83%. Meanwhile, countries like Greece and Cyprus experienced significant declines at -10.07% and -9.43%, respectively. Over the last five years, these dynamics have underscored varying levels of economic activity, transport infrastructure development, and regulatory changes across Europe.
Future trends to watch include the impact of environmental policies on freight demand, technological advancements in logistics, and the EU's regulatory shifts towards decarbonizing the transport sector. Economic recovery across European countries post-pandemic and geopolitical dynamics may also influence freight volumes. Additionally, the adaptation of supply chains to these changes, including the increased efficiency and digitalization of transport, will play a critical role in shaping the future landscape.
