In the first nine months of this year, if the volumes of traffic generated by truck transits in the Bologna Interport remained almost stable, those produced by rail traffic showed a sharp increase. In particular, in the period the trains to and from the intermodal center were 3,864 for a total of 57,861 railway wagons, in increments of 7.7% and 11.6% respectively in the first nine months of 2021. Heavy motor vehicles were more than 1.4 million, with a slight decline of -0.4% percent.

The contained reduction in truck traffic was determined by the lowest number of means recorded in the second and third quarters. In the July-September period of 2022, trucks were 453mila, with a -3.1% percent decline in the corresponding period last year. In the third quarter of this year, however, rail traffic marked a further rise, having been 1,335 trains (+ 15.6%) for a total of 20,007 railway wagons (+ 20.5%).
