Located at the crossroads of major transport routes in Western Europe, Belgium is a country with a long history of looking outwards, with exports accounting for more than two-thirds of its gross domestic product.
40 % of its road freight transport (TRM) activity is carried out internationally: 95 % from France, the Netherlands and Germany and 93 % to these three neighbouring countries.
With operating conditions similar to those of French companies, it is mainly in terms of driving staff costs that the two countries differ. Among the countries studied by the CNR, Belgium stands out as the country with the highest social security contribution rates.
The CNR invites you to discover this new study dedicated to Belgian TRM. It is supplemented by a summary that includes comparisons with France.
