Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/06/2014 -- Following a year in which BMI believes saw mixed growth dynamics in different freight modes, 2014 will signal growth across the whole of the Czech Republic's freight transport sector.

Total trade is projected to pick up with our Country Risk desk forecasting a year-on-year (y-o-y) increase of 3.71% in 2014 following an estimated growth of 2.87% in 2013.

Road freight is to continue to dominate the sector and is projected to grow by 2% in 2014. The mode, however, did not manage to defy the downturn and the European Union (EU) pledges of a decrease in road haulage across the region, with freight volumes expected to remain well below its 2007 level. BMI notes that rail is the likeliest candidate in Czech Republic's freight transport mix to benefit from any diversification away from road.
