Changes in the index from January 2009

In connection with the turn of the year, some changes are made to the cost index for road goods transport. First of all January 2009 is introduced as the new reference period for the index in such a way that January 2009 now equals 100. The index figures for previous months have also been recalculated in order to ensure that the cost development between two index periods is unchanged. Since January 2009, the statistics have been produced using weights based on accounting figures for 2007 from a sample of enterprises in the road goods transport industry.

A total cost index for road goods transport is now calculated too. The total cost index is a weighted average of the cost indices for the ten vehicle groups in the statistics. At the industry’s request, cost indices excluding ferry costs and road tolls have also been calculated since January 2009. Further information on these new total indices is available in the section “About the statistics”.

In addition to the cost index for road goods transport, Statistics Norway compiles a price index that measures the development in the actual billed prices of transport services. Information on this price index can be found here: http://www.ssb.no/gvpi_en/
