Road freight is the leader in goods transportation in Romania
Around 324.5 million metric tons of goods were hauled across Romanian roads in 2022, representing a small increase from 2021. In contrast, maritime and railway freight had decreased throughout the period. Maritime freight accounted for some 60.3 million metric tons of goods hauled in the country, which was five times less than 'Romania's road freight volume. Perhaps unsurprisingly, most new freight transport vehicles were registered in the Bucharest-Ilfov region, followed by the North-West and North-East regions. However, despite the high road freight volumes, the three freight transport companies with the largest revenue were rail freight and maritime freight enterprises. International Alexander, with a 2022 revenue of 635.6 million Romanian lei, ranked fourth across freight type but first when looking strictly at Romanian road freight companies.While Grup Feroviar Român was the only freight company with revenues over one billion Romanian lei, the gap between freight companies was not as steep as the one recorded in the logistics sector. In 2022, Aquila Part Prod reported revenues of over 2.1 billion Romanian lei, while all other leading logistics industries in the ranking reported a 2022 revenue of under one billion Romanian lei.
