The road freight transport volume in Portugal increased by 7.9 billion million tonne-kilometers (+32.53 percent) since the previous year. This was a significant increase in the transport volume. Road freight transport refers to the transport of cargo by commercial vehicles as part of the logistics chain and can be both national and international in countries connected by road networks. Road freight transport is typically divided between long- and short-haul, which influences the choice of vehicle: Vans are more prevalent in urban areas and across short distances, while medium and heavy trucks, due to their size, are used for long-haul trips.
