The infographic above shows the total amount of goods lifted and goods moved internationally by UK-registered HGVs, as well as the amount of goods lifted and moved broken down into imports and exports. ![]() In 2021 quarter 2 (April to June), the amount of goods lifted has been above average as there has been a phased exit out of the third lockdown. ![]() In 2021 quarter 1 (January to March), following the end of the EU transition period and the introduction of a third national lockdown, the amount of goods lifted fell below average levels. As COVID-19 restrictions eased, there were signs of recovery and goods lifted gradually returned to the typical variance. In 2020 quarter 2 (April to June), during the first national lockdown, the amount of goods lifted fell far below the typical variance. Wider than usual variance was seen throughout 2020 and the beginning of 2021 (± 2 standard deviations), with road freight heavily impacted by COVID-19 and the end of the EU exit transition period. The amount of goods lifted has been within, or close to, 2 standard deviations of the mean for all quarters except 2020 quarter 2 (April to June). The variation from this figure is shown by the standard deviation, which at 16 million tonnes indicates the amount of goods lifted could be between 16 million tonnes less or more than the given average figure. The average amount of goods lifted over this 5-year period was 355 million tonnes. The 5-year average was calculated using data from July 2014 until June 2019. Goods moved in the 12-month period ending June 2021 increased by 8% to 152 billion tonne kilometres from 140 billion tonne kilometres in the 12-month period ending June 2020, and was 3% higher than the 5-year average of 147 billion tonne kilometres from July 2014 to June 2019.ĭistance travelled in the 12-month period ending June 2021 increased by 5% to 17.8 billion kilometres from 16.9 billion kilometres in the 12-month period ending June 2020, but was 5% lower than 5-year average of 18.7 billion kilometres from July 2014 to June 2019.Ĭaution should be taken when comparing these data to previous time periods because the impact of the coronavirus ( COVID-19) pandemic, along with previously announced timings of the UK leaving the European Union ( EU) and the subsequent end of the transition period, have caused higher levels of volatility in freight statistics.Ĭhart 1: Goods lifted within the UK by HGVs registered in Great Britain, shown with variation from the average, 2014 quarter 2 (April to June) to 2021 quarter 2 (April to June)Ĭhart 1 illustrates the average amount of goods lifted by GB-registered HGVs in the UK, quarterly between 2014 quarter 2 (April to June) and 2021 quarter 2 (April to June), as well as the variance from this average. The amount of goods lifted in the 12-month period ending June 2021 increased by 7% to 1.39 billion tonnes from 1.30 billion tonnes in the 12-month period ending June 2020, but was 2% lower than the 5-year average of 1.42 billion tonnes from July 2014 to June 2019. ![]() The infographic above shows the amount of goods lifted, goods moved, and distance travelled within the UK by HGVs registered in Great Britain.
