Report Highlights
The eastward expansion of the European Union has provided a major boost to
trade between Western and Eastern Europe. The growth of the retail,
automotive, pharmaceutical and electronics industries in Eastern Europe has
led to increased consumption demand for goods and services, which, in turn,
has fuelled the growth in road freight sector.
However, while there are significant opportunities for companies to exploit,
there are also major hurdles to overcome in order to guarantee success. While
companies in Western Europe are faced with increasing operating costs, the
Eastern half of the continent is plagued by obsolete, insufficient and
inefficient transport infrastructure.
