The national transport of loaded road freight in Germany is projected to decrease from 241.17 million units in 2024 to 236.64 million units in 2028. This shows a negative trend with year-on-year reductions of approximately 0.5% to 0.6%. Compared to 2023’s actual data, which stood at 242.5 million units, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 reflects a steady decline. This trend indicates a gradual decrease in road freight transportation volumes.

Impact of environmental regulations on road freight.
Adoption of alternative transport technologies, such as electric or hydrogen-powered trucks.
Economic shifts affecting domestic and cross-border trade activities.
Potential market disruption from digital freight and logistics solutions.
