The European Commission has released an overview of the latest developments in the EU transport sector, highlighting trends and issues for both the EU and individual Member States.

From 1995 to 2019, the volume of transported goods increased by 41%, and the transport of passengers grew by 33%, before the COVID-19 pandemic caused a temporary drop.
