The Czech Republic's automotive production hit a record high in H1 2024, driving the demand for road freight transport

The Czech Republic plays a significant role in the automotive industry, which is the country's largest industrial sector, contributing over 9% to GDP, 26% to manufacturing, and 24% to exports. In the first half of 2024, the Czech Republic produced a record 774,310 passenger cars, marking a 4.9% YoY increase. Škoda Auto led production with 473,582 cars (up 2% YoY), while Hyundai Motor Company's Nošovice plant saw a slight decline of 0.6% YoY to 175,950 vehicles. In contrast, Toyota Motor Corporation's Kolín plant experienced a significant increase of 28.6% YoY, producing 124,778 cars. The rise in automotive manufacturing drove demand for components and materials and fueled the need for road freight transport.
In 2023, the Czech Republic imported USD 15.3 billion worth of agricultural products, mainly from European Union (EU) countries like Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, and Slovakia. Imports from the US totaled USD 143 million, primarily tree nuts, seafood, wine, spirits, and pet food. US imports have steadily grown over the past five years, though some US products are re-exported through other EU countries, notably Germany and the Netherlands. The increase in agricultural imports, particularly from within the EU, boosted the demand for road freight services.
Online shopping in the Czech Republic has grown significantly, with 72.5% of internet users shopping online by 2023, up from 31.8% in 2015. While 86% of the population has internet access, the Czech online shopping rate remains slightly below the European average of 75%. However, e-commerce in the Czech Republic is expected to grow significantly, with online sales projected to reach up to 25% of total retail by 2030, up from 17% in 2021. This growth is expected to boost the road freight transport market.

Czech Republic Road Freight Transport Market Trends

Government-led infrastructure development plans and private players' warehouse constructions are bolstering GDP growth since 2023

In June 2024, the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the Czech Ministry of Finance finalized a USD 580.69 million loan agreement to enhance major railway projects in the Czech Republic. This financing is part of a larger USD 2.17 billion operation by the EIB. The initiative aims to increase the capacity of the Czech railway network for freight and passenger transport, prioritizing safety and comfort. The upgrades will benefit railway lines nationwide, strengthen the trans-European transport network (TEN-T), and facilitate the implementation of the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS), boosting the GDP contribution from the transport and storage sector.
In June 2022, DB Schenker unveiled its plans to establish a cutting-edge facility in the Czech Republic in 2023. This new distribution hub took care of retail functions and B2C e-commerce operations, featuring a comprehensive service area tailored to meet consumer demands for personalized products. Situated near Prague Airport and a key highway leading to Germany, the logistics center was strategically positioned to ensure swift deliveries to customers across Central and Eastern Europe. At peak times, the center employed over 1,000 operators.
The Czech Republic is set to kick off construction on its long-anticipated high-speed railway line in 2025. The inaugural segment will connect Brno to Přerov. In 2026, attention will shift to the stretch linking Brno and Břeclav, followed by the Moravská brána section, which is slated to commence by 2028 at the latest. Sections leading to Prague are projected to start around 2030. To speed up the process, a new system has been introduced where the pay of Railway Administration officials is linked to how quickly they start building the high-speed line.

A fall in fuel prices witnessed in 2024 in the Czech Republic in comparison to other Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) countries

In August 2024, fuel prices in the Czech Republic fell to their lowest since February, with gasoline costing between 1.56 USD/liter and 1.69 USD/liter and diesel being even cheaper. As a result, Polish drivers are traveling to the Czech Republic to fill up, benefiting from the lower prices. For instance, gas stations in Poland, like those in Chałupki near Ostrava, now charge about 0.138 USD/liter more than in the Czech Republic. As a result, Czech vehicles are no longer seen at Polish gas stations, while Polish-registered vehicles are now frequently spotted at gas stations near the Czech border.
In December 2022, the Czech government enacted a measure to cap electricity and natural gas prices for large firms, aligning them with the rates already set for households and small businesses. Specifically, the prices are fixed at USD 0.22 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) for electricity and USD 0.11 per kWh for natural gas, both excluding value-added tax. This pricing strategy, applicable to 80% of past consumption, aims to encourage savings. Furthermore, the aid provided was limited to the maximum permissible level within the EU, set at USD 4.41 million for each company.
The Czech Republic, a close ally of Ukraine, has allowed its oil refineries to make over a billion euros in extra profits by buying discounted Russian fuel, even though other options have been available for a while. After Russia invaded Ukraine, the European Union exempted the Czech Republic from its ban on Russian oil to help landlocked countries like Hungary and Slovakia find new fuel sources. Looking ahead, gasoline prices in the Czech Republic are expected to be around 1.84 USD/liter in 2025 and 1.93 USD/liter in 2026.

The Czech Republic plays a significant role in the automotive industry, which is the country's largest industrial sector, contributing over 9% to GDP, 26% to manufacturing, and 24% to exports. In the first half of 2024, the Czech Republic produced a record 774,310 passenger cars, marking a 4.9% YoY increase. Škoda Auto led production with 473,582 cars (up 2% YoY), while Hyundai Motor Company's Nošovice plant saw a slight decline of 0.6% YoY to 175,950 vehicles. In contrast, Toyota Motor Corporation's Kolín plant experienced a significant increase of 28.6% YoY, producing 124,778 cars. The rise in automotive manufacturing drove demand for components and materials and fueled the need for road freight transport.
In 2023, the Czech Republic imported USD 15.3 billion worth of agricultural products, mainly from European Union (EU) countries like Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, and Slovakia. Imports from the US totaled USD 143 million, primarily tree nuts, seafood, wine, spirits, and pet food. US imports have steadily grown over the past five years, though some US products are re-exported through other EU countries, notably Germany and the Netherlands. The increase in agricultural imports, particularly from within the EU, boosted the demand for road freight services.
Online shopping in the Czech Republic has grown significantly, with 72.5% of internet users shopping online by 2023, up from 31.8% in 2015. While 86% of the population has internet access, the Czech online shopping rate remains slightly below the European average of 75%.

Keyword	Definition
Cabotage	Road transport by a motor vehicle registered in a country performed on the national territory of another country.
Cross Docking	Cross docking is a logistics procedure where products from a supplier or manufacturing plant are distributed directly to a customer or retail chain with marginal to no handling or storage time. Cross docking takes place in a distribution docking terminal; usually consisting of trucks and dock doors on two (inbound and outbound) sides with minimal storage space. The name ‘cross docking’ explains the process of receiving products through an inbound dock and then transferring them across the dock to the outbound transportation dock.
Cross Trade	International road transport between two different countries performed by a road motor vehicle registered in a third country. A third country is a country other than the country of loading/embarkation and than the country of unloading/disembarkation.
Dangerous Goods	The classes of dangerous goods carried by Road are those defined by the fifteenth revised edition of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, United Nations, Geneva 2007. They include Class 1: Explosives; Class 2: Gases; Class 3: Flammable Liquids; Class 4: Flammable solids- substances liable to spontaneous combustion; substances which, on contact with water, emit flammable gases; Class 5: Oxidizing substances and organic peroxides; Class 6: Toxic and infectious substances; Class 7: Radioactive material and Class 8: Corrosive substances, Class 9: Miscellaneous dangerous substances and articles.
Direct Shipment	Direct shipment is a method of delivering goods from the supplier or the product owner to the customer directly. In most cases, the customer orders the goods from the product owner. This delivery scheme reduces transportation and storage costs, but requires additional planning and administration.
Drayage	A drayage is a form of trucking service that connects the different modes of shipping (intermodal), such as ocean freight or air freight. It’s a short-haul trip that transports goods from one place to another, usually before or after its long-haul shipping process. Drayage trucks move cargo to and from various destinations, such as container ships, storage lots, order fulfillment warehouses, and rail yards. Typically, drayage only transports goods in short distances and operates only in one metropolitan area. It also requires only one trucker in a single shift. But despite this, but it plays an important role in long-haul shipping because it gets the goods to the cargo and vice versa. It makes intermodal transport much more efficient and enables the seamless transfer of goods to the end customer.
Dry van	A dry van is a type of semi-trailer that's fully enclosed to protect shipments from outside elements. Designed to carry palletized, boxed or loose freight, dry vans aren't temperature-controlled (unlike refrigerated “reefer” units) and can't carry oversized shipments (unlike flatbed trailers).
Final Demand	Final demand includes all types of commodities (goods as well as services) consumed as final use and might include personal consumption, or consumption by government, by businesses as capital investment, and as exports. includes all types of commodities (goods as well as services) consumed as final use and might include personal consumption, or consumption by government, by businesses as capital investment, and as exports.
Flatbed Truck	A flatbed truck is a type of truck with rigid design. It has a back body that is flatly shaped for easy loading and unloading of goods. The flatbed truck is mostly used to transport heavy, oversized, wide and indelicate goods such as machinery, building supplies or equipment. Due to the truck open body, the goods transported with it must not be vulnerable to rain. By functionality, the flatbed truck is comparable to a flatbed trailer.
Inbound Logistics	Inbound logistics is the way materials and other goods are brought into a company. This process includes the steps to order, receive, store, transport and manage incoming supplies. Inbound logistics focuses on the supply part of the supply-demand equation.
Intermediate Demand	Intermediate demand includes goods, services, and maintenance and repair construction sold to businesses, excluding capital investment.
International Loaded	Place of loading of goods in reporting country (i.e., country in which the vehicle performing the transport is registered) and place of unloading in a different country.
International Unloaded	Place of unloading of goods in reporting country (i.e., country in which the vehicle performing the transport is registered) and place of loading in a different country.
OOG cargo	Out of Gauge (OOG) cargo is any cargo that can not be loaded into six-sided shipping containers simply because it is too large. The term is a very loose classification of all cargo with dimensions beyond the maximum 40HC container dimensions. That is a length beyond 12.05 meters – a width beyond 2.33 meters – or a height beyond 2.59 meters.
Pallets	Raised platform, intended to facilitate the lifting and stacking of goods.
Part load	A part load describes goods which only fills a truck partially. In essence, the quantity of the shipment is bigger than the Less Than Truckload (LTL) shipment. Also, the shipment cannot fully occupy a truck i.e. its capacity is much lower than a Full Truckload (FTL) shipment.
Paved Road	Road surfaced with crushed stone (macadam) with hydrocarbon binder or bituminized agents, with concrete or with cobblestone.
Reverse Logistics	Reverse logistics comprises of the sector of supply chains that process anything returning inwards through the supply chain or traveling ‘backward’ through the supply chain.
Road Freight Transport Service	Hiring a trucking agency for transport of commodities (raw materials or manufactured goods including both solids and liquids) form the origin to a destination within the country (domestic) or cross-border (international) constitutes road freight transport market. The service might be Full-Truck-Load or Less than-Truck-Load, containerized or non-containerized, temperature controlled or non temperature controlled, short haul or long haul.
Tautliner vehicle	Tautliner and curtainsider are used as generic names for curtain sided trucks/trailers. The curtains are permanently fixed to a runner at the top and detachable rails/poles at front and rear, allowing the curtains to be drawn open and forklifts used all along the sides for easy and efficient loading and unloading. When closed for travel, vertical load restraint straps are attached to a rope rail beneath the truck bed, connecting the truck bed and curtain along both sides. Winches at either end of the curtain tension it, hence the 'Tautliner' name. This stops the curtain from flapping or drumming in the wind and can also help retain light loads from slipping sideways.
Transport for hire or reward	The carriage for remuneration of goods.
Unpaved Road	Road with a stabilized base not surfaced with crushed stone, hydrocarbon binder or bituminized agents, concrete or cobblestone.
