Analysis of over 3,900 surveys, across 20 countries to provide a truly
Pan-European perspective of trends and developments in Road Transport.
The European Transport Barometer 2009 is the result of possibly the largest
collaborative effort ever undertaken in researching the European Road
Transport sector, surpassing even 2008 participation levels.
The result of research conducted across Europe, the European Transport
Barometer 2009 brings together analysis from over 3,900 surveys, across 20

have have been made more acute by the current global economic downturn. The

originates from a source that is a consistent, reliable and specialist within
the supply chain industry.
