More gravel transport
In total, Norwegian lorries transported 76.9 million tonnes of goods nationally and 1.2 million tonnes of goods internationally. This corresponds to 15.5 per cent more nationally and 13 per cent less internationally compared with the 3rd quarter of 2013. Domestically, it was mass transports in particular that contributed to the growth in the transport amount, with an increase from the same quarter last year of 15.7 per cent.
More transport for own account
The proportion of the national transport performance carried as transport for own account went up by 3.2 percentage points compared to the 3rd quarter of 2013. Lorries for transport for hire or reward have had about two-thirds of the market share for many years measured in transport performance domestically. In the 3rd quarter of 2014, the share of transport for hire or reward was 73.5 per cent.
The statistics is now published as Carriage of goods by lorry.
