EU-28: road freight as share of total inland freight transport 2009-2022
In 2022, the percentage of road transport in total inland freight transport in the European Union remained nearly unchanged at around **** percent. Still, the percentage of road transport reached its highest value in the observed period in 2022. According to Eurostat, road transport is collected based on all movements of vehicles registered in the reporting country and thus further methodological developments and computations were needed to be done by Eurostat for estimating road transport according to the 'territoriality principle'.
