The number of licensed motor carriers increased

According to the press service of the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine the number of licensed motor carriers over the past five years has increased by more than a factor of 2. 

According to him, from the moment they began to collect statistics on commercial traffic (since 2005), at present the number of motor carriers registered and provide transport for road transport increased from 55 thousand to 120 thousand units Number of transport equipment used by carriers has increased from 200 thousand to 400 thousand.
Thus, over the last five years, the number of legitimate carriers working in the field of passenger, freight and taxi services has doubled.
It should be noted that this sector is characterized by a very low concentration of the market. Thus, the number of motor carriers with a fleet of a single vehicle, is 61%, up to three pieces of rolling stock - 22% up to five - about 7% to 10 - 5%, and with more than a dozen vehicles - no more 5% of the total number of licensed carriers.
