Abstract

The survey aims to provide comparable information about the carriage of goods by road by means of road transport vehicles registered in the country. It is conducted according to the requirements of Council Regulation (EC) 1172/98, as well as its successive amendments, in cooperation with the Interior Ministry.

The road vehicles covered involve lorries; special vehicles and road tractors, registered in Bulgaria, with gross weight of 6 tonnes or above.

The sampling is based on data on the total number of registered vehicles from the Register of Motor Vehicles of the Traffic Police Office at the Interior Ministry. The respondents are owners and leaseholders of lorries and road tractors, which carry goods for hire or reward and/or on own account. The survey covers 52 weeks a year and employs a stratified proportional sampling.

A questionnaire is used for the data collection, which includes data about the vehicle, owner, journey and goods carried.

Aggregated data on road freight transport is published on a quarterly and annual basis.
