The European Commission with the active contribution of NTUA, SWOV and KFV has published at the European Road Safety Observatory, the Buses & Heavy Goods Vehicles Facts and Figures Report which refers to fatalities in crashes involving buses/coaches and heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) on European roads. In 2023, 13% of all road fatalities in the EU27 occurred in crashes involving HGVs and 2% of road fatalities in the EU27 occurred in crashes involving buses/coaches.  The most fatalities in 2023 were recorded in Germany (456), France (387) and Poland (304) and the fewest in Luxembourg (3) and Slovenia (15) having continuous numbers throughout the time period. Moreover, it is remarkable that female share in fatalities in crashes involving buses/coaches (31%) is remarkably higher than the respective share in crashes involving HGVs and all crashes (23%). link pdf5
