Complete results of the survey on long-distance road freight transport operations carried out in 2021 by French companies on behalf of third parties.

Vehicle operating conditions, which had been severely disrupted by the various measures taken in 2020 at the height of the crisis, are approaching pre-COVID standards at the end of 2021, without quite reaching them. The vehicle production indicator thus remains 0.7% below its 2019 level in 2021.

Another key finding in terms of operating costs is that the survey results show significant inflation in 2021. Almost all cost items are affected. Among the most significant increases detected between the last two surveys, in 2019 and 2021, are the costs of Adblue (+61.8% %) and tyres (+7.2% %). This inflation also affects social components: +2.7% for drivers' remuneration and +4.4% for their annual travel allowances.
