DATA AND FACTS
50,000 HGV DRIVERS ARE NOW MISSING, IN 10 YEARS there will be 330,000
“Wir sind kurz vor dem Versorgungskollaps”, erklärt der BGL-Vorstandssprecher Dirk Engelhardt gegenüber der WELT. 2010, im letzten Jahr vor der Abschaffung der Wehrpflicht, machten etwa 17.800 Menschen eine Kraftfahrausbildung bei der Bundeswehr. Inzwischen kommen nur 15.000 Berufskraftfahrer jährlich neu in den Markt, 30.000 Fahrer scheiden jährlich aus Altersgründen aus. Damit haben wir zum Ende der Dekade 330.000 LKW-Fahrer zu wenig. Das bedeutet 50% der LKW können nicht besetzt werden. Engelhardt macht auch die schlechten Arbeitsbedingungen für den Fahrermangel verantwortlich.
16 KG CO2 EMISSIONS DURING THE SEARCH FOR A PARKING SPACE
drivers try to find a parking space 4-5 times a day
German rest areas are in a state of emergency from 5 p.m. onwards. This is because 90% of the lorry parking spaces are already occupied. Those who arrive later park on the hard shoulder, in and out of car parks, drive into industrial estates or other places that are not designated truck parking spaces. After 4-5 attempts to find a parking space every day, drivers often have no other choice when their driving time is over. During these attempts and repeated braking and accelerating of the 40t vehicles, massive amounts of diesel are consumed and often the driving time is exceeded, resulting in fines. During a police check in March 2020 in Schleswig-Holstein, 222 driving time violations were found among 378 drivers checked.
