Road freight transport 2000-2004: Average vehicle load and regional aspects

This new publication on road freight transport focuses on the average vehicle load and on regional aspects. The average vehicle load is analysed by national and international transport and also broken down by load capacity of the vehicle and by distance class. When looking at the regional aspects of road freight transport, national transport has been considered at two different levels of NUTS (level 1 and 3). This has allowed to both find out which are the predominant regions in each reporting country in terms of tonnes loaded and unloaded and to filter out the top 10 regions in Europe in terms of tonnes loaded per km2 and per inhabitant.
