Comprehensive analysis of over 1,200 surveys, across 18 countries to provide a truly
Pan-European perspective of trends and developments in Road Transport

The result of research conducted with the assistance of Truck Europe and affiliated
local trade magazines across Europe, the European Transport Barometer brings
together analysis from over 1,200 surveys, across 18 countries to provide a true
pan-European perspective of trends and developments in the Road Transport industry.

The last year has been a challenging year for the road transport industry. Despite
economic growth and lengthening supply chains, margins are being continually
squeezed. For fleet operators increases in volumes and revenues do not necessarily
correlate with increases in profit or margins.

As many operators have been telling us, increasing insurance premiums, road
congestion, driver shortages, customer price sensitivity and of course, the
rocketing fuel price, all impact on the bottom line.

The European Transport Barometer is ideally suited to meet the needs of any
professional within the supply chain industry. More importantly, the data contained
can be used to draw conclusions that can be applied to either process or strategic
planning with the absolute confidence that the data originates from a source that is
a consistent, reliable and specialist within the supply chain industry.

Report methodology

In partnership with leading industry trade magazines across Europe, Analytiqa
undertook extensive primary research in order to obtain the core data for the report
series. The information obtained was of both a quantitative and qualitative nature.

This is integral to the utility of the report, as it contains opinion of informed
individuals in the European transport industry that can be supported with
statistical evidence generated from the quantitative data obtained from such a
large-scale survey.

> Growth by Volume and Value
