The European road freight transport has proven to be largely stable by the end of 2025, despite a general economic slowdown. According to TIMOCOM’s Transport Barometer, the average freight share in the fourth quarter of 2025 was 75%, representing an increase of two percentage points compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. While freight traffic towards Scandinavia, Southeast Europe, and the United Kingdom saw a significant decline, strong domestic markets and East-West traffic contributed to the stability of the market.
Freight offers increase, seasonal declines shape year-end
In 2025, freight inputs in Europe increased by 21% year-on-year. September was the strongest month of the year with over 30 million freight offers. However, after the peak in the third quarter, the market experienced a decline of 21% in the fourth quarter, which TIMOCOM interprets as a typical seasonal effect. Compared to the same quarter of the previous year, freight offers were still 10% higher. Gunnar Gburek, Company Spokesman and Head of Business Affairs at TIMOCOM, commented: “This clearly shows: The market remains freight-saturated. The demand for transport continues to significantly exceed the supply of available vehicles.”
