NO New methods of production and consumption, as well as ongoing economic growth in the European region in recent decades, have led to an increasing demand for faster and more flexible transport modes, often favouring road freight. This trend is mainly sustained by the factthat environmental costs are not internalised (included) in road transport prices. Developing and switching to more environmental-friendly transport modes will require major efforts in all European countries.
