Modal split in freight transport EU-27, 2005.
Hungarian Rail Office 2007
With longer transport distances and lower population densities, railways are more competitive in Central- and Eastern European countries. The downside is the lower cost-efficiency pressure.
The Czech Republic, Finland, Hungary and Slovenia has more favourable modal split than other EU countries.
Austria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Sweden have even higher shares of the rail mode.
Hungary: relatively high rail market share in the intermodal competition, access to more rail-dependent economies such as Romania, the Ukraine.
