Processes of the Hungarian rail freight market between 2012 and 2017

Summary/Abstract: Due to limited data and analysis available on the Hungarian rail freight market, the author examines the processes of Hungarian rail freight using accessible data sources. Hungarian rail freight is relatively significant in European comparison, but its growth rate lags behind that of other modes, especially road freight. Financial data for rail freight companies show that their profitability -and thus their sustainability - significantly deteriorated between 2012 and 2017. The study also examines whether the economic or transport infrastructure conditions and the rail traffic conditions have a statistically significant influence on the volume of freight traffic and its growth rate.
