The forecast data for Germany’s road freight volume of transport equipment shows a significant decline from 2024 to 2028, starting at 202 million tonne kilometers in 2024 and dropping to 38 million tonne kilometers by 2028. This indicates a steep year-on-year decrease, with a sharp decline over the 5-year period reflecting a negative compound annual growth rate.

Key trends to watch include:

Impact of alternative transport solutions such as rail and multimodal transport reducing road freight dependency.
Potential shifts in automotive demand affecting transport equipment needs.
Government policies promoting greener logistics and impacting road freight volumes.
