“…The freight forwarder's liability is maximally limited from 1.09 EUR/kg for damage in Austria to unlimited liability (in Croatia, Italy). In most of the analysed countries, the maximum liability of the forwarder is 50 000 XDR for one case of damage, which corresponds to the cost of 56 200 EUR [15].…”

The continuous flow of movement of goods on the world market forces manufacturers to turn to intermediaries who are able to organize cargo transportation services. At the moment, the most common intermediary is a freight forwarder. This article defines the understanding of the term freight forwarder, its role in the supply chain, as well as the risks associated with transportation. This article analyses the part of forwarding contract which deals with a limitation of the forwarder’s liability. The limitation of the forwarder’s liability allows predicting the amount of compensation to the cargo owner in case of damage or loss of goods. In addition to the previously conducted analysis of the freight forwarder’s liability in the selected countries of the European Union, an analysis of the responsibility of freight forwarders in the selected CIS countries was carried out. Among other things, it was determined which national regulations regulate freight forwarding activities in these countries. The limitations of the liability of freight forwarders proposed by the conditions of the expedition of the national Associations of logistics and forwarding, compiled on the basis of the standard rules of the FIATA organization, are also considered.

“…The basic assumption is effective solutions for the ecological situation. It means that our consumption will be reduced, because the way of life built on high consumption puts a strain on nature raw materials and energy, waste from production and consumption [26,27]. An important role in this the process of reducing personal material consumption is the transformation of values: "...the preference of certain values and needs is an essential component of human motivation behaviour.…”

Nowadays, the issue of sustainable mobility is very resonant in the professional public. Main topic for discussion is a transport as a one of the biggest polluters in the world. Today's transport brings a number of benefits to society, but often it has a high price. This price is paid by wasted human lives and serious environmental damage. Therefore there is no wonder that a number of cities, municipalities and regions regard transport as the key to their development, but at the same time as a threat to the health of the population, their safety and quality of a whole life. The combination of public and shared transport is necessary for clean and smart mobility. Shared economy is a concept of social change in the 21st century. This paper is focused on above mentioned issues. It describes levels of the smart city concept and principles and forms of shared economy in transport and shared mobility. .

“…Consequently, the continuous and strong demand for low-cost mode integration in freight transportation [13,14], that is dynamically affected by changing external circumstances (e.g., pandemic crises, environmental restrictions, or geo-political tensions), is not satisfactorily fulfilled. Especially cross-border freight transport business requires extensive coordination between multiple actors for freight handling, customs, security, and insurance at various stages [15]. Since the previously studied online exchanges do not appear to yet solve key challenges of organizing multimodal freight transport, this paper explores how online exchanges in other freight transportation industries to bring the matching of supply and demand of multimodal services to a higher level of performance.…”

The European Union (EU) is confronted with too low a share of inland rail freight transport. The implementation of two-sided online exchanges for rail-road freight transport could increase this share. However, such exchanges focusing on the EU market are mainly designed for single modes of transport. Their matching of supply and demand for multimodal services, especially including rail, is still in its infancy. This paper applies a maturity growth framework to speed up the implementation of such multimodal online exchanges. The framework integrates insights from industrial organization theory, platform economy theory, and maturity growth theory. Online exchanges, summarized in a new taxonomy, are compared to study their practices on matching supply with demand on the exchange, especially for multimodal services. Data is collected from case studies, exchange websites and semi-structured interviews. The analysis shows the emergence of new market actors and business models, including digital freight forwarders. These offer a variety of transport mode solutions for EU inland and EU related global freight transport. Maturity in matching supply and demand appears to result from clear objectives to provide benefits to the exchange participants, notably by digitizing the data for transaction completion and providing real time support for operational issues. In this context of rising online exchanges, especially in road and global multimodal transport (air, ocean, and road), the competition to capture a fragmented freight market seems to steadily increase. A similar maturity analysis of exchanges could not be found.
