Road freight – critical to the European economy
The road freight industry is essential to the economic development of the European region. Growth in volumes may be directly related to the strength of manufacturing production and retail sales but it is also true that an efficient industry lowers costs and enables best practice in supply chain management.
It is also true that the industry is not homogeneous across the region despite efforts by the European Commission to standardise operating practices and regulations. Each country has its own specific characteristics driven sometimes by the structure of demand, sometimes by geography and often by culture.
The industry also has to face a range of external threats from increasing fuel costs; congestion; interest rate rises and the ever increasing level of social costs. On top of this, in recent years the influx of competition from Eastern Europe has become a major issue – one country’s industry association described the impact of low cost, ‘low quality’ hauliers from Poland, Hungary etc as a ‘catastrophe’.
This hyper-competitive, complex and over-regulated industry is often perceived by administrators as a problem rather than as a driver of economic prosperity, especially given their environmental policies. However with economic growth firmly at the top of politicians’ agendas, it is now a good time to highlight the benefits which a strong and vibrant industry can deliver.
