What the source says
Driver availability remains a structural capacity constraint: 13% of truck driver positions are unfilled in Europe, equivalent to around 502,000 positions, according to IRU's 2025 driver shortage report
Checked: the figure 502,000 is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
