BORDER ENSUS Small dip in border traffic The last border census of the year shows a small dip in lorry traffic into Denmark. In total 2012 has, however, been the best year for international road transport of goods since the financial crisis sent economics to count. ITD Lyren 1 .

After incoming lorry transport in Denmark set record in spring traffic in the second half of the year has decreased a little. 4,696 lorries averagely crossed the border to Denmark every day in the last quarter of the year which has just been counted. The whole year’s average ends with 4,793 lorries a day, and this is an increase of 1.7 per cent compared to 2011. Thus this year is assessed to be the best year for international lorry traffic since the financial crisis. In the year of the record 2007 5,008 lorries drove over the borders, but this number decreased to 4,366 a day in the year of the crisis 2009.
No flood Of the lorries that drove into the country during 4th quarter 2012 21 per cent carried Danish number plates. This number seems to be steadily declining as the
number amounted to 23, 24 and 25 per cent during the previous three quarters. The Danish road haulage companies still owns 47.7 per cent of the lorries driving into Denmark as several Danish road hauliers have chosen to flag out vehicles driving internationally. The rumours about foreign lorries having captured the Danish domestic market are on the other hand highly exaggerated. The Danish vehicles are still doing well in the competition on domestic transports. Just published figures from Statistics Denmark show that national road haulage with Danish vehicles has increased by 9.7 per cent from second to third quarter this year. In total Danish lorries’ domestic transport according to Statistics Denmark has increased by 8.1 per cent during the latest four counted quarters, compared to the previous four.

sus every quarter during a representative period totalling 24 hours. ITD’s border censuses indicate the very latest tendencies in international lorry traffic to and from Denmark. The statistics can be used with cau-
