The report aims to show that transport is a necessary prerequisite for economic growth, and that especially road freight transport has been of great importance in developing post-fordist production structures and the spatial organization of industries. The transport industry's central role in industrial and social development is, however, not well reflected in the industry's share of national value formation: As in a host of other activities in a society marked by a large degree of mutual dependency, the hauling industry does not retain the full economic benefit of its impact on economic development.
