Infrastructure :

Investment in road transport is 2.5 times more profitable

According to the World Bank,“… infrastructure development is key to economic growth. Good roads and bridges expand market opportunities, lower the costs of goods and services, and enable countries to use their productive capacity better. China’s development would not have unfolded had the country not invested heavily in road infrastructure.” 
Where road transport goes, economic development follows!


Road transport's potential is inhibited by congested or ill-maintained roads, and is thus unable to facilitate the creation of economic and social wealth. In many parts of the world, the lack of good quality roads, the lack of sufficient road capacity, or congestion on existing road networks in developing and industrialised countries alike, limit the positive impact of the existing infrastructure and road transport activities on general economic growth and the creation of wealth.
It is therefore vital to increase investment and improve road maintenance, while making optimum use of existing infrastructure.
