Trucks travelled a total of 500 million kilometres more last year than in 2001, according to Department for Transport statistics, The level of HGV traffic also rose by 1% in the fourth quarter of 2002 and 2% for the year as a whole.
The DFf report, Traffic in Great Britain-4th Quarter 2002, puts the rise down partly to the impact of the foot and mouth outbreak in 2001, which affected all modes of transport In Britain.
Motorway traffic as a whole Increased by 2% and there was a rise of 3% for traffic on nonbuilt-up minor roads.
The Freight Transport Association says the rise in HGV traffic levels can also be attributed to the growth in the economy.
