Record de faillites dans le transport routier belge en 2001 L’année 2001 a été caractérisée en Belgique par une progression du taux de faillites dans le transport routier de marchandises par rapport à 2000. Cette progression a été beaucop plus nette dans ce secteur que dans l’économie belge en général. Le taux de faillites a été le plus élevé à Bruxelles-Capitale, le plus faible en Flandre. Et il se confirme au fil des ans que les entreprises de transport de création récente sont les plus vulnérables, surtout si elles ont de faibles capitaux de départ. Telles sont les conclusions d’une étude que vient de publier l’Institut du Transport routier (ITR), l’observatoire économique de ce secteur en Belgique.
