The statistics describe traffic and transport by Swedish lorries, both within Sweden and internationally.

The product aims at showing domestic and international activities of Swedish-registered lorries/traction units, the vehicles kilometres, the transport performance and the quantity of goods transported including categorisation of types of commodities. Important areas of use include forecast models, calculation of the environmental impact of the traffic and to provide a basis for public discussions.

The extent of the studies
The study includes Swedish-registered lorries/traction units with a maximum payload of 3.5 tonnes or more. These are investigated by a continuous sample survey including approximately 12,000 vehicles of a total of 56,000 annually. The most important variables are transport performance, the transported quantity of goods, and the vehicle kilometres. The content of the statistics is governed by an EU regulation and the study is accordingly carried out throughout the whole EU/EEA area.

Publication
The statistics are published five times a year in four quarterly publications and an annual report. The quarterly reports will be published at the latest five months after the end of the quarter and the annual publication at the latest nine months after the end of the year. The information is also published in a database by the EU statistical body Eurostat. Eurostat also publishes a compilation of information in the publication series Statistics in focus.
