Productivity, service integration, specialisation, linguistic protectionism. These are the four keys to the success of the Dutch pavilion. Both private and public players place transport at the heart of their activities, making use of all modes of transport in the country's economic organisation. Dutch road hauliers operate in an interconnected ecosystem, often organised around major seaports linked by waterways. 

In road transport, it is notably the efficiency of the offering, often supported by complementary services integrated into the transport service, that is driving the success of Dutch road hauliers. The productivity and availability of drivers mitigate the high cost of driving personnel. Ultimately, this new CNR study on Dutch road transport shows a dynamic, optimistic and innovative sector, despite an additional cost per kilometre of 3.% compared to France. 

The 2016 study on Dutch road haulage details the specific environment in which road hauliers operate. Points of comparison with France are included in the summary accompanying the study.
