A dynamic international flag, Hungarian road transport has seen its domestic activity decline since the onset of the global economic crisis in 2008. By way of comparison, it represents just over 6% of the French flag's domestic activity. On the other hand, its international activity is 40% greater than that of the French flag. This result places the Hungarian flag in 7th position in Europe in the ranking of flags according to their international activity.

In order to understand this development, the CNR conducted a new study of Hungarian road haulage, analysing the operating conditions and costs of the road haulage sector, based in particular on interviews with Hungarian companies and drivers. The summary provides a comparison of the two flagships.
