During the first quarter of the year on the average 4,810 lorries drove into Denmark every day. In the same quarter 2010 the figure was 4,264. This corresponds to an increase in border crossing lorry traffic of 12.6 per cent during the three years. The figures are good news for the Danish foreign trade, because the traffic with lorries on the borders makes up a strong indicator for Danish import and export compared to important neighbouring markets. However, there is still some way to the record from 2nd quarter 2008 where 5,104 lorries crossed the border a day.
during the period. Danish owned vehicles here cover vehicles with foreign number plates as well as Danish. In number this correspondents to Danish owned lorries in border crossing traffic having increased from 1,450 per day in the 1st quarter 2010 to 2,342 in the 1st quarter of this year. This means that Danish road haulage companies have increased their driving across the Danish border with a total of 61 per cent compared to 1st quarter three years ago. If the growth is spread over all recorded quarters the increase becomes a little less, but the progress is still clear.
Danish road hauliers power ahead Looking closer at the figures from the latest three years where traffic has increased, good news are hiding for Danish road hauliers. It is mainly Danish road haulage companies which are responsible for the increase in cross-border traffic. Back in 1st quarter 2010 only 34 per cent of the lorries driving across the border were owned by Danish transport companies. In 1st quarter of this year the share had increased to almost 49 per cent together with the total traffic also having increased
Surprising increase in Danish number plates Part of the growth originates – maybe surprisingly for some – from lorries with Danish number plates. Compared to 2010 and this year Danish registered lorries have increased their number of transports by 18 per cent from 895 border crossings per day in the 1st quarter 2010 to 1,053 this year. Also here the growth will be a little less in a summing up of all recorded quarters, but still positively clear.

The South Jutland border
Method ITD’s border censuses include lorries driving into Denmark across the Danish-German border and across the Øresund Bridge or using Scandlines A/S’ ferry routes. ITD records the number of lorries with a manual cen-
sus every quarter during a representative period totalling 24 hours. ITD’s border censuses indicate the very latest tendencies in international lorry traffic to and from Denmark. The statistics can be used with cau-
