212 Development Report 2012 Indicators of Slovenia’s development Share of road transport in total freight transport The share of road freight transport declined in 2010, interrupting its rapid upward trend seen in previous years. In the previous decade, the share of road freight transport 1 rose faster in Slovenia than in the EU overall. By 2005 it had already exceeded the EU average, and was nearly 6 p.p. higher a year later (82.3%). In 2010 the volume of rail freight transport increased more (21.4%) than the volume of road freight transport (7.9%), which was partly related to a larger decline in the former in the crisis year of 2009. The volumes of both types of transport thus drew fairly close to the pre-crisis levels, and the share of road transport also returned to a comparable level. In 2010 the share of road freight transport also shrank in the EU as a whole, with both types of transport recording lower growth rates than in Slovenia (road transport 3.9%; rail transport 8.5%). In the first three quarters of 2011, rail freight transport continued to grow somewhat faster than road freight transport, so that the share of road freight transport in total freight transport in Slovenia dropped even further, to 81.3%. The volume of road freight transport in Slovenia in 2010 was 44% higher than in 2005, which is an even smaller increase than in eastern European countries from the EU-10 group (53%). In the same period the volume of road transport in the EU-15 shrank by close to a tenth, so that the volume of road transport in the EU-25 as a whole decreased by 0.5%. Rail freight transport in the EU-25 dropped by around 4% in 2005–2010. In Slovenia rail freight transport was 5% higher relative to 2005, recording a much smaller increase than road transport, on account of the relatively well-developed road infrastructure in that period. Freight transport by railway (and waterways) is much more acceptable from the perspective of sustainable development, and it should thus be encouraged with a view to ending the upward trend in road freight transport. Faster modernisation of railway infrastructure and improved access to the Port of Koper would increase the attractiveness of railway transport. A total of EUR 450 m in EU funding was earmarked from the Cohesion Fund for Slovenia to invest in railway infrastructure in the 2007–2013 period; by the end of 2011, only 15% of the earmarked amount had been allocated for railway projects, and only 4.8% had actually been disbursed. 3 The volumes of both road and rail freight transport per capita in Slovenia are among the highest in the EU. In 2003 the tonne kilometres per capita recorded by transport operators registered in Slovenia were still approximately the same as the EU average, but by 2010 their figure had doubled 2 (89% higher than the EU average; only operators registered in Luxembourg recorded a higher figure). This rapid growth is largely attributable to Slovenia’s transit location at the crossing of the trans-European corridors V and X, where transport has increased significantly with the two most recent enlargements of the EU, and partly to low fuel prices. In addition to the above-average volume of road freight transport, Slovenia also recorded a large volume of rail freight transport per capita (114% higher than the EU average in 2010). From the aspect of sustainable transport policy, the rapid increase in road freight transport is unfavourable, and Slovenia has thus far made no visible progress in modernising its rail infrastructure. 1 In total freight transport (roads, railways, inland waterways), in tonne km. In road freight transport, the statistics cover domestic carriers (the volume of carriage by road freight vehicles registered in the country) operating at home and abroad, while in rail transport, the figures indicate the volume carried in the national territory regardless of the operator’s country of origin. 2 Slovenian operators provide a large volume of transport abroad, as is typical for operators from smaller countries. 3 Source: Slovenian Government Office for Local Self- Government and Regional Policy, 2012.
