Verkehr in Zahlen

The report contains information on infrastructure spending and fixed assets for the entire transport sector, transport-specific economic indicators on infrastructure, vehicle fleets, employees and revenue as well as information on vehicle fleets, driving licences and road accidents. For the transport of passengers and goods, figures are provided on traffic volume and performance, supplemented by differentiated information on transport purposes, the transport of hazardous goods or cross-border transport. A separate section is dedicated to the cost of transport, including information on energy consumption and the associated environmental impact. A selection of international key figures enables comparisons with other European countries and rounds off this comprehensive work.

The many tables have been updated using various data sources. To this end, official statistics, association and company statistics as well as the results of current research projects and transport surveys such as the 'Fahrleistungserhebung' (Driving Performance Survey) and 'Mobilität in Deutschland' (Mobility in Germany) are analysed and in some cases compiled on the basis of model calculations. In particular, the annual updates and projections of vehicle mileage and passenger transport services require extensive model calculations incorporating key data from official statistics, including the development of population, car ownership and fuel consumption.

The latest issue will be produced by autumn each year and published at the end of the year. In addition to a paperback edition available directly from the Federal Motor Transport Authority (Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt; KBA) or from bookshops. It can also be downloaded from the website of the German Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV).
