Manufacturing exports in Italy experienced a YoY growth of 17.9% in 2022 and drove the demand for road freight services
- Italy is the second-largest manufacturing country in Europe. In 2023, revenues of Italian manufacturing companies are estimated to reach a record USD 1.23 billion, USD 266.87 million more than in 2019. Moreover, in 2022, manufacturing exports in Italy experienced a YoY growth of 17.9% and reached USD 568 billion.

Italy鈥檚 export growth is higher than Germany鈥檚 and France鈥檚 in all manufacturing sectors except clothing and leather.
- A growing economy typically leads to increased consumption and demand for retail products. As the Italian economy expanded in 2022, the need for the transportation of goods from manufacturers to retailers and consumers also increased. In Italy, the total retail sales value grew by 4.6% in 2022 compared to the previous year. On average, in 2022, the growth in value of sales characterized all forms of distribution, albeit to a very different extent, with the largest increases recorded for specialized large-scale distribution and discount stores.

Italy Road Freight Transport Market Trends
Mobility and logistics investments soar to USD 298.25 billion for an integrated national transport system
- In 2022, the conflict in Ukraine led to a significant drop in freight train traffic between China and Europe, with Italy experiencing a particularly dramatic collapse in transport volume, down by 91.62% compared to 2021, despite the introduction of the new Wuhan-Milan route. On the other hand, Hungary was a notable exception, as it saw a substantial 1,266% increase in cargo volume despite being a secondary player in this transport route. The decline in transportation demand is the main cause of the progressive decline in maritime freight rates for container shipments.
- In 2022, the Document of Economy and Finance's (DEF's) Infrastructure, Mobility, and Logistics Annex presented a comprehensive framework outlining plans, reforms, and investments charted and scheduled for the upcoming decade. It allocated nearly EUR 300 billion (USD 320.24 billion) to selected initiatives aligned with strategic plans considering the government's economic strategy and the Sustainable Development Goals.
- The mobility and logistics infrastructure projects listed in the Document of Economy and Finance (DEF) in 2022 were valued at a total of EUR 279.4 billion (USD 298.25 billion), showcasing an increase of 8.1%. This funding was targeted for the Integrated National Transport System's completion and safety, as well as in light of the climate crisis and technological advancement. These expenditures included USD 94.55 billion for roads and highways, USD 166.91 billion for railways and urban nodes, USD 11.43 billion for ports, USD 3.62 billion for airports, USD 36.91 billion for rapid mass transit in major cities, and USD 11.43 billion for cycle paths.

Fuel prices surged in Italy after the discount on fuel-related excise duties expired at the end of 2022
- Fuel prices in Italy have continued to rise, with petrol and diesel breaking the record. Diesel reached USD 1.804/liter in 2022, up from USD 1.69 in 2021. The average price charged on petrol in self-service mode was EUR 1.862/liter (USD 1.98/liter), with the various brands ranging between EUR 1.855 (USD 1.97 /liter) and EUR 1.874/liter (1.99 USD/liter), and the restoration of excise duties was in effect until March 21, 2022 (+30.5 cents/liter on petrol and diesel and +10.4 cents/liter on LPG). The price of oil has increased to more than USD 100 per barrel. Prices surged mainly due to the speculations deriving from international tensions and after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
- In the first half of 2021, the price of gas rose sharply. This phenomenon affected many countries where the energy demand increased dramatically due to the global energy crisis and the fast post-lockdown economic recovery. The average Italian household's gas supply price increased by 64.8% in 2022 compared to the previous year due to the impact of the Ukraine conflict on family finances.
- Higher fuel prices were a key driver that led to inflation in Italy. Inflation levels in the European Union and Italy peaked in late 2022 and have gradually decreased, but energy prices are rising again. In the initial days of 2023, national prices for full-service petrol stood at EUR 1.95 (USD 2.08) per liter and EUR 2.02 (USD 2.15) for diesel. The increase was largely due to the expiration of the discount on fuel excise tax, which was put in place in March 2022 to help combat a surge in fuel prices. The discount initially expired on December 1, 2022, but was extended at a lower rate till the end of 2022, when it expired.

| 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 鈥榗ross docking鈥� 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鈥檚 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 鈥渞eefer鈥� units) and can't carry oversized shipments (unlike flatbed trailers). |

| 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 鈥� a width beyond 2.33 meters 鈥� 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 鈥榖ackward鈥� 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. |
