We examined vehicle miles traveled (VMT) to understand what happened to freight movement and passenger trips as a result of COVID-19 in Europe.
Using INRIX Trip Analytics and INRIX Trip Trends, we examined heavy goods vehicle (HGV), local fleet and passenger vehicle movement trends to understand how the efforts to halt COVID-19 has impacted the movement of goods, and general travel.
This study found that the various responses to COVID-19 resulted in a wide range of impacts to the road network – with some countries experiencing significant drops in local fleet delivery and others seeing larger HGV volatility.
