In 2023, the empty road freight transport volume in France was 2.30 billion vehicle-kilometers. From 2024 to 2028, this volume is forecasted to gradually decline by around 0.03 billion vehicle-kilometers each year, representing an average annual decrease of approximately 1.09%. Over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028, this pattern suggests a consistent downward trend in the empty freight transport volume.
Future trends to watch include advancements in supply chain efficiency, potential regulatory changes aimed at reducing empty freight trips, and technological innovations such as digital logistics platforms that could significantly impact transport dynamics. Environmental policies prioritizing fuller loads may also play a pivotal role.
