Road freight transport (i47)

Description

Definition: the modal share of road in freight transport is the share of total traffic carried by lorries and vans. The other modes of transport considered are railways and waterways. Traffic is measured in tonne-kilometres, obtained by multiplying, for each trip, the number of tonnes on board by the number of kilometres performed. The data come from the European Commission, DG MOVE. For the road traffic in Belgium, for which DG Transport provides data only from 2005 onwards, the indicator has been retropolated to 1990, using the data of the FPB. These are calculated using data collected from different sources (Publications of the FPS Mobility and Transport, FPS Economy, SMEs, Self-Employed and Energy, Statistics Belgium, annual reports of SNCB/NMBS, the Belgian national rail company).
