Abstract

Heavy goods vehicle (HGV) is accounted for approximately 20% CO2 of total GHG emission in the transport sector. The allegedly inexpensive goods transport does not take increasing external environmental cost into account. The latter development undermines European climate targets. Generally, the efficiency of a transport system should take into account all aspects, economic criteria, and also the resource consumption (resource extraction) for the construction of the vehicle and associated carbon emissions (life cycle cost and emissions). The aforementioned points are the objects of investigation. The goals are a transparency of the influencing factors and develop sustainable and equitable transport indicators for goods transport. Optionally it is possible, e.g., to take into account the emission trading scheme (ETS). Maritime transport by feeder or short sea shipping is a main issue of the study comparison with truck transport on the road.
