In 2023, Poland led the European road freight volume for construction of water projects with 113 million tonne kilometers, showing a considerable 42.84% year-on-year increase. Portugal and the Czech Republic followed, showing robust volumes but stagnating, with the Czech Republic decreasing by 6.51%. Romania and Croatia also reported declines of 8.19% and 2.33%, respectively. Slovenia and Austria experienced significant reductions, 12.94% and 14.33%. Spain demonstrated recovery with an 11.84% rise, though its volume was relatively low. Lithuania and Slovakia maintained minor levels, with minimal changes. Over five years, Europe shows uneven growth trends with considerable fluctuations.
Future trends to watch include the acceleration of Poland's infrastructure projects, potential recovery in Czech Republic and Romania through policy shifts, and continued growth in Spain driven by new initiatives. Environmental regulations might impact freight dynamics, emphasizing efficiency and cleaner transport methods.
