More trucks on German motorways


On Germany’s federal motorways, the mileage of trucks with at least four axles that are subject to tolls increased by 1.6 % in May 2023 compared to April 2023, adjusted for calendar and seasonal effects.

 

According to the Federal Office for Logistics and Mobility and the Federal Statistical Office, the calendar-adjusted HGV toll mileage index was 1.2 % lower than in May 2022. HGV mileage on motorways provides early indications of economic trends in the industry and gives a rough approximation of the development of industrial production.

 

Since the mileage index is available about one month earlier than the production index, it may be used as an early indicator for the economic trend, the federal agencies said. (ben)
