- La rentabilité dans le transport routier néerlandais a été au plus bas en 2000
Pour le tansport routier néerlandais, l’année 2000 a été une “annus horribilis”: plus de 57% des entreprises de transport international ont clôturé l’année sur des chiffres rouges, et pas moins de 42% des entreprises de tansport national. La rentabilité moyenne dans le transport international a été de -0,8%, et celle dans le transport national de +0,8%. Dans ces chiffres, l’impact de la mauvaise performance des petites entreprises est déterminant. Les grandes entreprises sont les seules à dégager des bénéfices plus ou moins acceptables. Pour 2001, une petite embellie est prévue, mais le niveau moyen de rentabilité demeurera mauvais. C’est ce qui ressort d’une analyse de divers rapports de l’institut de
recherche néerlandais NEA, publiée dans l’hebdomadaire de l’association Transport en Logistiek Nederland.
