Considering only inland transport, it appears that the considerable growth in transport has been almost entirely realised by road transport. In 2000, it represented 75 % of the tkm performed in the EU and EFTA countries. The increase between 1990 and 2000 was very high in Austria, Germany and France. No country had a decrease during the same reference period and the growth of the total tkm transported by road in all the EU and EFTA countries was equal to 40 %.
