In 2023, Italy led the European national road freight volume of gases with 243 million vehicle-kilometers. Poland and Germany followed with 196 and 173 million vehicle-kilometers respectively. Notable increases were observed in the Netherlands (12.3%) and Greece (7.31%). Conversely, significant declines were seen in Ireland (-100%) and Switzerland (-16.06%). The UK, Spain, and France also showed slight decreases. These variations reflect a complex market influenced by economic shifts, infrastructure, and energy policies.
Future trends to watch include the transition to alternative fuels, advancements in vehicle technology, and regulatory changes, which could impact the road freight volume dynamics across Europe. Collaborative measures for optimizing logistics and sustainability initiatives may further drive growth in countries exhibiting strong increases and mitigate declines observed elsewhere.
