Publication Daily truck toll mileage index based on digital process data from Toll Collection System

The truck toll mileage index, which is calculated from digital process data of the truck toll collection system, provides an early indication of the development of industrial production in Germany. During the corona crisis, the index is updated every working day to provide information as early as possible. Issued after five to nine days, the results of the daily truck toll mileage index provide a very up-to-date picture of the mileage of heavy goods vehicles, which are subject to toll charges, on German motorways and trunk roads. This article gives an overview of the monthly and the daily truck toll mileage indices, seasonal and calendar adjustment, differences between the two indices, and the relationship between the daily index and other selected short-term indicators.
