The European road freight sector

​In 2019, the European road freight sector experienced modest growth, with a 1.2% increase in the first half of the year compared to the same period in 2018. This growth was primarily driven by the expansion of e-commerce and the resulting demand for efficient last-mile delivery solutions. Domestic road freight continued to dominate, accounting for the majority of goods transported within EU member states. Countries like Lithuania, Luxembourg, and Slovenia stood out for their high levels of international road freight operations, reflecting their strategic positions in cross-border logistics.
