Description: This graph shows that in France, the share of road transport increased over time to the detriment of rail traffic. The map shows that the share of internal road freight is much higher in Western Europe, where exchange with neighbouring countries has been systematic for a longer period. With the EU’s territory increasing, land planning strategies must be optimized in order to minimize distances between production centres and consumption areas.
