The 2023 data indicates that Czech Republic leads with 66.18 million train-kilometers, exhibiting slight growth, while Poland shows a modest increase to 27.07. Austria and Slovakia also see slight increments. Sweden and Finland observe a decline, with significant contractions noted for Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Moldova. The traffic in Albania remains the smallest. The five-year average growth trends show stability in several countries, hints of potential decline in Nordic regions, and stagnation in the Balkans.
Future trends to watch include the potential for technological advancements in hybrid or electric trains and increased governmental emissions regulations. These factors may significantly impact diesel train traffic, potentially diminishing its importance in regions with strong environmental agendas.
