An overview of the transport market to Eastern Europe


Italy's traffic towards the countries of Eastern Europe moves 55.1 million tonnes as a whole, with a strong imbalance between imports (37.1 million) and exports (18 million).
- Imports have risen by an average 5% per annum over the last few years, with more significant increases in transport to the Balkan area.
- Exports, on the other hand, have grown at an even faster pace (+10% a year), particularly towards Poland, Hungary and Romania.
 
Rail freight transport, however, still plays a marginal role both with regard to the influx of imports (which would have a cargo composition more suited to transport by rail) and exports from Italy.
The only countries where rail commands a substantial share of freight transportation are Poland (export flows) and the Czech Republic (import flows).
