Press release No. 008 of 9 January 2020
KÖLN/WIESBADEN – The Federal Office for Goods Transport (BAG) and the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) report that the mileage covered by trucks with four or more axles, which are subject to toll charges, on German motorways decreased a seasonally adjusted 0.6% in December 2019 compared with the previous month. The truck toll mileage index provides early indications of short-term economic trends in Germany and will, as of now, be released not later than 9 days after the end of the month. Consequently, the early indicator, which previously was published about 15 days after the end of the reference month, will be available more quickly.
