European Road Freight 2008 out Now

DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/82c775/european_road_frei)
has announced the addition of the "European Road Freight 2008" report
to their offering.

The European Road Freight Sector under pressure

The European road haulage industry is under pressure as never
before. Rising fuel prices combined with a hyper-competitive market
place in which it is impossible to pass on costs, has had inevitable
consequences on the sector. The influx of lower cost haulage companies
from Central & Eastern Europe have made life even more difficult for
domestic operators.

However this has not prevented the largest players in the industry
from embarking on substantial acquisition programmes as they seek to
increase the volumes in their networks. Kuehne + Nagel, DSV, Geodis
and Norbert Dentressangle have all been highly active, seeking to
challenge Schenker and DHL as market leaders.

European Road Freight Transport provides a comprehensive analysis
of the industry allowing the reader to make informed strategic,
investment or operational decisions in this highly complex and diverse
market.

Industry insight

European Road Freight 2008 combines the analysis of a range of
official statistics with Transport Intelligence's own market sizing,
forecasts and insight.

As well as examining industry output, numbers of goods vehicles,
costs and overall revenues, the report also examines the road freight
sectors by international/domestic split and own-account/outsourced.

For the first time the report also provides a unique breakdown
