In the United States, the majority of cargo that is transported by truck is going less than 100 miles. I bet in Europe that share is even larger.

- fyfy18 6y agoEurope is actually a bit backwards here, 75% of goods transported 'inland' is by truck. https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/Freight_transport_statistics https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php...
- jabl 6y agoYeah, that's because the various national railway systems are poorly suited for international traffic. There are various EU efforts to improve the situation, but the governments try to protect their national monopolies etc. The end result being that in most cases it's easier to ship international freight by truck.
