Influence of the mobility package on the functioning of the Polish road transport of goods sector

Abstract

The article presents the results of the introduction of the provisions suggested by the European Union's legislative authorities with regard to transport market regulation, referred to as the Mobility Package. The business of enterprises is based on planning, both in the short and long term, business decisions are made in advance, and internal and external factors taken into consideration. To emphasize the importance of the issues discussed, it is worth noting that the regulations under study constituted the first such in-depth change of the market since Poland joined the European Union. An earlier analysis of the solutions suggested allows enterprises to get ready for the upcoming changes and to take appropriate decisions to minimize their effects, if any. Consequently, the purpose of this paper was to attempt to assess the impact of the Mobility Package on the Polish road transport industry. To study this goal it was necessary to gather and analyse extensive research material originating from official statistical data, industry reports and scientific publications of domestic and foreign authors. The methodology of the research included analysis of the scientific literature, European Commission documents and statistical data analysis.

Conceptualizing transnational disappearances: Polish missing abroad and the governance of the search

“…Poles are one of the dominant nationalities among those driving trucks on European roads (Suproń, 2020), travelling regularly between Poland and other countries. Although Polish truck drivers most often figure in cases of transnational disappearances as potential witnesses and as actors who engage in the search from their unique position of observers on the road, sometimes they go missing themselves.…”

“…Another factor contributing to their search‐worthiness is that, although they are hypermobile, their mobility reproduces the established social order rather than disrupting it. This mobility is surveillanced and predictable and is considered essential to the functioning of the EU's consumer market (Sternberg & Overstreet, 2020; Suproń, 2020).…”

Hybrid Approach to the Cost Estimation of External-Fleet Full Truckload Contracts

“…Quite similar are the regulatory factors, like the mobility package, which has dramatically changed the European shipping market [18,19]. Specific country-related regulations, taxation models, custom rates and all regulatory limitations and additional costs contribute to the price formulation.…”

Asymmetric Impact of Different Types of Road Transport on Economic Growth in the Sehradegroup Countries: An Empirical Analysis of the Nardl Framework

“…The impact of the different modes of transport on the market and the economy has become particularly significant in recent years, especially following the introduction of the Mobility Package, the motive for which was to restrict the latter two modes. These measures were motivated by protectionism and the need to protect the markets of individual community countries (Suproń, 2020). With these considerations in mind, it made sense to examine how the different modes of transport interact with economic growth.…”
