Abstract: Road transport of goods in Germany in the Netherlands: Lessons and recommendations for French Carriers. – French international goods transport has been suffering a loss of influence in Europe in recent years, while traffics have progressed and great manoeuvres have been under way since the enlargement of the European Union to the East. Some of our carriers have thus fallen back on the French market revealing a worrying loss in competitiveness. On the other hand the Dutch and German flags are flying ever higher on the French market and have reorganised themselves in Europe in the face of this new East European order: following up on clients in their relocation to the East, networking, hyper-productivity, segmenting of markets between top-of-the-range transport in the West, niche markets and "low cost" segment in East Germany or in Poland, increasing reliance on a large port (Rotterdam)... What lessons can be drawn from the German and Dutch experiences for an international revival of the French flag? Based on a fine comparison of the driving costs and of the structure of goods markets of our neighbours, our contribution, synthesis of two recent studies supervised by the Comité National Routier, will suggest establishing closer connections with German or Dutch.----------------------------------------------With the author and the publisher of the copyright agreement.
