This chapter presents a freight trip attraction (FTA) model estimated in a Norwegian context. The novelty of this research is the explanatory approach taken in a European context by estimating the FTA model on an industrial urban area, which functions as a freight hub but not as a city center. For freight trip generation models to be relevant for public policy planning, publicly available or easily retrieved policy‐oriented explanatory variables are often used. However, this approach excludes how freight trip generation is affected by internal decisions. The model's functional form is investigated, providing reasons to believe in a nonlinear relationship between freight trips and employment. An extended version of the model, including establishment and shipment characteristics, shows that information other than establishment size and industry type might be relevant when explaining FTA. The model is estimated using data from 271 establishments in Groruddalen.
