Volume of goods transported by lorries decreased in the second quarter of 2015
A total of 63 million tonnes of goods were transported by lorries in the second quarter of 2015, which was six per cent less than in the corresponding quarter in 2014. The volume of transported soil materials decreased by 17 per cent and the volume of transport for other goods increased by two per cent compared to the corresponding quarter of the previous year. These data derive from the statistics on goods transport by road compiled by Statistics Finland.
Quarterly volume of goods transported by lorries in domestic transport
The total transport volume of lorries amounted to 4.7 billion tonne-kilometres in the second quarter of 2015, which was 14 per cent less than in the corresponding quarter of one year before. Ninety-five per cent of the transport volume was transported in professional transport and five per cent in private transport.
The data for the statistics on goods transport by road are collected from lorry owners with a quarterly sample survey. Transported volume of goods refers to the weight of goods loaded on lorries in tonnes. Tonne-kilometre describes the volume of transport and is obtained as a product of transported volume of goods and length of transport journey.
