Goods transport in Germany increased markedly in 2011.
According to provisional results of the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis), the volume of transport in 2011 is expected to have risen 6.5% on the previous year, reaching 4.3 billion tonnes. That has been the largest year-on-year increase since 1994 (+7.5% on 1993).
Road, rail, sea and air transport contributed to growth, whereas losses were recorded for inland water transport and crude oil transport via pipelines.
