Total tonne-kilometres of freight transported in the European Union 2000-2021
This statistic shows the total amount of freight transported annually in the EU-27 countries by all inland modes of transport between 2000 and 2021, including freight trains, road transportation and inland shipping. A significant decrease in freight transportation occurred in 2009, in the wake of the global economic crisis. From 2010 onwards the transport volume of the European Union was increasing, before seemingly dropping again in 2020, which was the result of the fact that annual data for several countries, such as Spain and Greece, was not available anymore.
