80% of freight is done by rail in Sweden I know nothing about logistics so this is just first hit on Google, I do not make the point to contradict you. I think the issue here is how you split up the big numbers into managable percentages for easy statistics, I'm guessing there is a lot of issues when you are talking about this. The biggest is that the US has spent 70 years of lobbying from car manufacturers and oil companies to make people use cars, that has left a scar all over the world. Not only in the freight vs. passenger statistics.

80% of freight is done by rail in Sweden I find that very unlikely and this link seems to contradict that: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php?title=Freight_transport_statistics_-_modal_split#Modal_split_of_freight_transport_by_country_in_2022 https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php... Another aspect that needs to be taken into account is that a large part (perhaps 40%) of any number you see on total tonnes of rail freight in Sweden, is made up of handful of short rail lines doing nothing but transporting iron ore from a few large mines to the nearest harbour.
