Queensland trucks carried the second highest quantity of freight in Australia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

March 20, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trucks carried an estimated 214,789 million tonne-kilometres (tkm) of freight across Australian roads in 2017-18, according to figures released on Wednesday by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 2017-18 figure represents a 5.0 per cent increase in tonne-kilometres (one tonne moved on road over one kilometre) since 2016,\u201d\u00a0ABS spokesperson Lauren Binns said.<\/p>\n

\u201cArticulated trucks carried the bulk of Australian road freight, transporting 165,336 million tkm, 77.0 per cent of the total road freight task. This is despite articulated trucks comprising less than 1.0 per cent of all vehicles on Australian roads.\u201d<\/p>\n

The majority of road freight transported crude materials (30 per cent) such as stone, sand and gravel, followed by manufactured goods (12 per cent) and food and live animals (11 per cent).<\/p>\n

Freight vehicles registered in Victoria moved more freight than any other State or Territory with 55,450 million tkm.<\/p>\n

This was followed by Queensland (49,038 million tkm), NSW (48,709 million tkm) and Western Australia (35,953 million tkm).<\/p>\n

Passenger vehicles continue to make up the majority of registered vehicles in Australia (75 per cent).<\/p>\n

In 2017-18, passenger vehicles travelled a total of 179,761 million kilometres at an average of 12,600km per vehicle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
