Transport of European trucks (VE) — total traffic (VE1)

The statistics “Transport of European Trucks (VE)” represent the transport of international road haulage across Germany and completes the transport of German trucks (LKfz). For this purpose, the Federal Motor Transport Authority, as the national competent authority, receives aggregated and extrapolated annual data in accordance with Annex D to Commission Regulation (EC) No 6/2003 from the Eurostat data pool. The data transmitted are available at different regional levels (NUTS) in accordance with Regulation (EC) 1059/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council. For some countries covered by the Regulation, there are time gaps or early data reporting. The collection of data is usually carried out (as in Germany) as a sample survey. The evaluation of the total traffic of European vehicles is based on all journeys of all registered vehicles travelling in Germany — INCLUSIVE of the foreign route shares for the respective journey. Passages are determined via a NUTS 3-based distance station. Please note the quality reports.
