20:40
Poland is a leading player in road freight transport within the EU. Trucks from the Vistula region account for 20 percent of the total freight work in the EU, highlights the Polish Institute of Economics. The transport work of Polish companies amounted to 385.1 billion tonne-kilometers (tkm) compared to 303.9 billion tkm for second-placed Germany.
Polish companies are among the top carriers on most of the crucial routes within the EU. The route between Poland and Germany is the second most important in the EU. In 2022, it transported 69.1 million tons of goods, of which 96.4 percent were transported by Polish entities. Similar percentages are observed for routes such as Czech Republic-Poland, Italy-Poland, and Poland-Slovakia.
Polish companies specialize in international transport, providing nearly 64 percent of services in international transport. We also have a high market share in cabotage, which refers to services provided within a country by an entity registered in another country, and cross-trade, which involves transport between two countries served by an entity from a third country.
