Every year since 1964, the International Road Federation (Geneva) has been publishing the World Road Statistics (WRS), the most complete and authoritative source of data for the road sector. The WRS are produced by conducting an annual survey with primary data sources such as National Ministries, National Statistics Offices and Road & Transport Authorities.
The WRS 2020 will be released by early September 2020. This edition is a special one as it marks the launch of our new IRF Data Warehouse besides encompassing new and updated data for the years 2013-2018. Over 205 countries will be included with key data on topics such as Road Networks, Road Expenditures & Revenues, Road Traffic, Multimodal Traffic Comparisons, Road Accidents, Vehicles in Use, Vehicle Industry (Production, Imports, Exports and First Registration) and Energy Prices. Overall, the WRS covers data and indicators grouped into more than 50 subsections.
Details on the WRS 2020 sponsorship opportunities are available here.
