2023 European RFT ranking

The strong recovery in European RFT observed after the COVID-19 period appears to be coming to an end. The two main components, domestic and international, are reacting in the same way.

Between 2022 and 2023, the market is down -3.2%. The decline affects all activities and virtually all flags. While domestic and international activities are reacting in the same way overall, it is the bilateral activity in particular that is suffering the most, with a decline of -4.5% in one year.

International activity now accounts for nearly 38% of the total, a share that has been relatively stable for the past 10 years. Cross-trade activity and cabotage are driving international activity slightly upwards, while national activity is losing share, a sign of the growing Europeanization of road freight transport.
