The road modal is the main and most important one in Brazilian territory. The CNT Yearbook of 2018 reveals that in the last three years there was a growth of nearly 3,000 kilometers considering all paved Brazilian roads. Currently, this number exceeds 200 million kilometers, which still seems insufficient to meet the demands in the different regions of Brazil.

For comparison, road transport percentages in other continental countries:

USA: 43%
China: 35%
Australia: 27%
Canada: 19%

In 2019, Brazil moved 61% of its cargo via highways, considering the TKUs (ton-kilometer units) transported. In the same period, 21% of the cargo was transported by rail, 12% by cabotage, 4% by pipelines, 2% by waterways, and less than 1% by air transport.
