About the statistics

The information under «About the statistics» was last updated 22 August 2024.

Domestic transport: The statistics only comprise transport from one place in Norway to another place in Norway. The part of a transport between Norway and abroad that takes place on Norwegian territory is not included.

Passenger transport performance: A measure of passenger transport, defined as the work being performed when a means of transport carries a certain number of persons a certain distance. Passenger transport performance is measured in passenger-kilometres.

Passenger-kilometres: The number of passengers multiplied with the length of the journey. Example: A car with 2 people driving 10 kilometers has performed a passenger transport of 2 x 10 = 20 passenger-kilometres.

Tonnage carried: Gross weight of goods including packaging. The tare weight of vehicles, containers and other transport units is not included.

Freight transport performance: A measure of freight transport, defined as the work being performed when a means of transport carries a certain amount of goods over a certain distance. Freight transport performance is measured in tonne-kilometres.

Tonne-kilometres: The gross weight of goods for one trip multiplied with the length of the journey. Example: A lorry carrying 2 tonnes of goods for 10 kilometers has performed a freight transport of 2 x 10 = 20 tonne-kilometres.

Cabotage transport: Cabotage is transport between places in a country other than where the carrier belongs. In this statistic, it means transport of goods between places in Norway carried out with foreign-registered means of transport.
