The UK share of haulage to and from the UK has stabilised t around 25% after many years of decline. This comes s a relief to many UK international hauliers, but cannot disgulse the long-term loss of business.
The latest Department for Transport statistics, • ublished in September, show that UK hauliers' share of he international market fell from 52% in 1996 to just 25% in 2006, when of nearly 2.9 million LGVs leaving the UK, • nly 525,000 were UK-registered.
Our biggest ovals are the French (367,000 vehicles), the Dutch (258,000 vehicles) and the Germans (187,000 vehicles).
In its latest quarterly survey the Freight Transport Association suggests that a key element in retaining international work is the level of service. And one of the factors that continues to help UK hauliers is the relative stability in the exchange rate between sterling and the euro.
