Abstracts

In a market where costs are rising faster than prices, recent economic developments place even more strain on an already challenging Road Transport sector. 12 countries in the Road Transport 2008 series form Analytiqa's Road Transport series. These are country specific Road Transport reports extracted from the European Transport Barometer 2008.

The European Transport Barometer 2008 is the result of possibly the largest collaborative effort ever undertaken in researching the European Road Transport sector. It includes analysis of over 2,400 haulier surveys, across 18 countries to provide a truly Pan-European perspective of trends and developments in Road Transport.

Expanding on the successful 2007 publication and based on a robust primary research methodology, each country in the Road Transport 2008 series provides the following operational and market insight:

• Identification of the gap between Road Transport costs and prices
• Trading performance and growth by volume and contract value
• Changes in Fleet Sizes, Operating Costs and the reasons for these changes
• Changes in Profitability in Road Transport and the reasons for these changes
• A Barometer of business confidence amongst Road Transport operators

Furthermore, detailed secondary research and analysis, with statistics up to and including the first half of 2008, puts the country markets in a European context as it provides market data covering:

• Freight volumes by road, by country across Europe
• International road freight volumes, by country across Europe
• Evolution and share of total road transport that is Cabotage, by country across Europe
• Road infrastructure investment and developments, by country across Europe

Each country in the Road Transport 2008 series 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.
