Modal split

Total transport volume
2024
710.9 million tonnes
Decreased -0,4% compared to 2023

The modal split, i.e. the distribution of transport volume and transport performance on the individual modes of transport, is used to provide an overview of freight transport in Austria. The data from the national road freight transport survey, the consolidated European road freight transport statistics, rail freight transport statistics and on freight transport on the Danube is compared. The values for air freight are marginal in relation to the other modes of transport and are therefore only taken into account in total transport volume and index series. In order to achieve better international comparability – e.g. with the results of Eurostat – a national representation of the modal split is partly without the transport mode pipelines. Data is published annually.

Q: STATISTICS AUSTRIA, road freight transport statistics; Eurostat (tables D3.1 and D5); ASFINAG. Due to small reporting failures, values concerning rail for the reporting years 2023 and 2024 were estimated based on the available gross tonne-kilometres. Road (foreign vehicles) values for each reporting year are revised with the publication of the following years' data. Rail values referring to 2021 and 2022 were revised on October 27, 2023. – Compiled on 12 November 2025.
