In 2023, the national annual road freight transport of metal ores, peat, uranium, thorium, and other mining and quarrying products unloaded in predominantly rural regions in France stood at an actual value that is not provided here. However, from 2024 to 2028, the forecasted data indicates a consistent year-on-year decline in volume: 2024 sees a volume of 105.8 million metric tons, decreasing to 77.14 million metric tons by 2028. This period witnesses a steep negative year-on-year variation averaging around 7%, signaling a substantial reduction in transport activity.

Future trends to watch for:

The influence of environmental policies on transport demand and regional mining outputs.
Technological advancements in mining that could affect transport volumes.
Economic fluctuations impacting demand for raw materials extracted in rural areas.
