The goal of this research was to measure the cost of road freight transport in the 20 European countries with the highest recorded quantity of tonne-kilometres and assess their competitiveness. Cost competitiveness was measured by four main cost categories: fuels, drivers' wages, tyres and tolls, and the results show large cost variances between ...

Determinants of Capacity Utilisation in Road Freight Transportation
Journal of Transport Economics and Policy, 2014Recent performance indicators in the European road freight transport sector show there is an excess capacity. To shed light on this, this paper studies two aspects of capacity utilisation in trucking: the extent of empty running and the load factor. Using a joint econometric modelling framework, the paper shows that they can be explained as a function ...

Harmonisation and Road Freight Transport
1981The EEC has made relatively limited progress in harmonising the transport policies of its Member countries. The drafters of the Rome Treaty believed that the establishment of the common market itself required co-ordinating national transport policies and eventually the formation of a common transport policy (CTP).
