The CEO of Wabererʼs International, György Waberer, who was recently made the prime ministerʼs commissioner for road haulage and logistics developments, said earlier that Hungaryʼs road haulage companies are facing a shortage of almost 6,500 truck drivers.

The cabinet will soon discuss a report on the road haulage sector prepared by Waberer. The road haulage and bus business generates just 6% of Hungaryʼs GDP, compared to 10-12% in more developed countries, Varga noted.
