Status of international road freight statistics
In the road freight statistics: 2024 series, we combined the statistics on road goods travelling to Europe and international road freight into a single publication. This decision was driven by the inherent connection between the series, allowing for a more streamlined and efficient dissemination of related data.
The annual 2025 International Road Freight publication, summarising activity by UK registered heavy good vehicles operating internationally, has been paused until later in 2026 to support essential work required to further develop the methodology following a digital infrastructure transition.
Road freight statistics provides information on the domestic and international activity of British and Northern Irish heavy goods vehicles (HGVs). This information is collected by the department’s road freight surveys.
Information about these surveys is available in the notes and definitions.
Roll-on, roll-off international freight statistics provides information on all the main ferry routes between Great Britain and Europe, and the Channel Tunnel. It is based on information supplied by ferry operators and Eurotunnel.
Information about maritime, rail and air freight activity can be found in the appropriate sections of the transport statistics website.
Roll on, roll off international freight statistics were assessed by the UK Statistics Authority and confirmed as accredited official statistics in July 2016.
