Historically, road freight has always dominated the freight sector. Rail freight has been important, although it has historically only accounted for just below 20% of the freight mix. The importance comes from a combination of the country's geography, the economic importance of commodity production and heavy industry in Russia, as well as by the limitations of other transportation networks. Russia is characterised by significant distances both between population centres and between suppliers of raw materials and their intermediate or end customers, which naturally benefits the development of rail freight. Russia's road freight is the fifth longest in the world after the US, India, China and Brazil. Historically, road network development has been of minor importance for the government. Little has changed in the freight mix over the past decade. Only road freight has increased its share slightly on the back of growing consumer purchasing power, whereas the other modes have remained unchanged.
