Abstract

In the present paper, the author aims to theoretically highlight the transport in logistics and to focus on some options for optimal solutions and based on analysis of the dynamics in the development of the final energy consumption in the transportation sector of Bulgaria, to reveal the role of technologies as a means of improving energy efficiency in the country's transport. In order to achieve this goal, transport is theoretically defined in the context of the overall reproduction process, its role in the supply chain is highlighted, and in this relation the system approach is reviewed as a way of optimizing transport costs. The different modes of transport are compared, as the comparative characteristic is one of the approaches that will allow to be taken transport solutions in line with the current requirements of economic efficiency and environmental friendliness.The analytical part follows the dynamics in the development of the final energy consumption in the transport sector of Bulgaria for the period 2001-2017, differentiated by type of transport, in order to be able to highlight the specifics of the different transport alternatives with regard to the used energy sources. On the basis of the analyses made, conclusions are drawn that emphasize the established trends and the localized problems.In the third part, the technological achievements in the field of automotive industry are presented as the main sources for improving the energy efficiency in the transport of Bulgaria.
