Abstract
Analysis of over 2,400 surveys, across 18 countries to provide a truly Pan-European perspective of trends and developments in Road Transport
The European Transport Barometer 2008 is the result of possibly the largest collaborative effort ever undertaken in researching the European Road Transport sector.
The result of research conducted across Europe, the European Transport Barometer 2008 brings together analysis from over 2,400 surveys, across 18 countries to provide a true pan-European perspective of trends and developments in the Road Transport industry.
The European Road Transport Industry continues to face pressure and challenges from just about every angle - financially, operationally and strategically.
Whilst almost three-quarters of operators continue to recognise growth, this is not distributed equally across Europe, and pressures to achieve or maintain profitability - let alone increase it - are more intense than ever.
The European Transport Barometer 2008 is ideally suited to meet the needs of any professional within the supply chain industry. More importantly, the data contained can be used to draw conclusions that can be applied to either process or strategic planning with the absolute confidence that the data originates from a source that is a consistent, reliable and specialist within the supply chain industry.
