Points of interest
As some European countries grapple with a resurgence in road fatalities while others enjoy historic road safety success, the continent as a whole must work to adapt to a new normal of post-pandemic travel. In this shifting landscape, both broad, historical context and granular insights revealed in Motointegrator's analysis are crucial for understanding the complexities of road safety and the multifaceted approach needed to address it.
What to expect from the Study:
- Change in road fatalities worldwide
- Road fatality numbers in Europe over the years
- Road fatality rates and changes in Europe, with a special focus on pre- and after-pandemic
Anna Ganska, Motointegrator's CEO, said:
"The pandemic created an unprecedented situation that offered a glimpse into a world with fewer road collisions. Now, we are starting to see what road fatality rates could look like as we transition into post-pandemic norms."
"The recent uptick in road fatalities across certain countries signals a concerning reversal of hard-won progress. This data is a stark reminder that reducing auto-related fatalities is an ongoing battle, and we will need to be vigilant and adaptive in order to maintain Europe's status as a beacon of traffic safety."
