The lorry traffic into Denmark has shown a steadily increasing tendency since the financial crisis. This tendency continued in the second quarter of the year, where ITD’s border census registered a record high number of lorry passages on the Danish borders. 5,189 lorries entered into Denmark per day. During the equivalent quarter 2008 – i.e. before the financial crises – the number was 5,104 passages per day. It is also worth noticing that Danish transport companies have captured a larger part of the border traffic since the financial crisis. 2009 only about 35 per cent of the lorries driving into Denmark were owned by Danish transport companies. In the census from second quarter this year the Danish owned share reached a little less than 48 per cent. The background for this is that operation with Danish registered lorries has stabilized on a level where it accounts for
almost 25 per cent of the traffic, while a similar number of passages now takes place with Danish owned vehicles registered abroad. From all the foreign lorries driving into Denmark more than every third is owned by a Danish transport company. The majority of these lorries are registered in Germany, but during the latest years the number of Danish owned lorries with Eastern European number plates has increased and approaches those with German number plates and Danish ownership in numbers. ITD’s border censuses take place according to a firm random sample system where the counting takes place at different times during the day over a whole week.

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-
