State policy for the development of multimodal transportation by clean and energy efficient motor transport

Abstract

The article substantiates the need for the Government of Ukraine to form a state policy for the development of multimodal transportation by clean and energy efficient vehicles, which will accelerate Ukraine's integration into the European and world space. The main strategic priorities for the development of multimodal transport, provided by the National Transport Strategy of Ukraine until 2030, are studied and its gaps are emphasized. The state policies of the developed countries concerning popularization of multimodal freight transportations by electric cars are considered and their comparative analysis is carried out. During the study, the following methods were used: comparative analysis, strategic analysis, - GAP-analysis, abstract-logical. It is substantiated that the formation of the balanced state policy for the development of clean and energy efficient multimodal transportation should be carried out with a presize definition of the stage and sequence of actions, ie in accordance with a guide for the state policy formation. The present paper is dedicated to the development of the guide. The author's guide is aimed at protecting the environment and ensuring the interests of present and future generations in a favorable environmentally friendly living conditions.

Approach to the Forming of Rational Technology for the Export Cargoes Delivery in Supply Chain on the Principles of Co-Modality

“…Comodality requires increasing the efficiency, compatibility and interconnection of different modes of transport, as well as the stations and transport hubs connected between them. At the same time, all modes of transport are considered as complementary subsystems, the combination of which can provide users and society with maximum economic, environmental and social benefits [6]. The principle of comodality is gaining relevance in the context of increased cooperation between different modes of transport, especially for Ukraine in the current environment, when the main freight flows of road and rail transport are directed to western international railway crossings to the EU.…”

“…Ukraine is part of several international transport corridors and Ukrainian transport networks are included in the TEN-T indicative maps. The modality of European policy is to ensure the efficiency of cargo delivery through seamless transport corridors with door-to-door service [6]. Ukrainian railways already have experience in organising container trains, the "Viking" transit train between Lithuania and Azerbaijan, and the "Yaroslav" transit train between Ukraine and Poland.…”

“…Therefore, we are developing new approaches to the formation of TDC. Most of the approaches are based on the principles of integrated logistics [1], [2], [4], [6] - [14] and aim to solve problems of improving the efficiency of the delivery process in individual logistics chains as subsystems of the logistics system [9]. The analytical models proposed by the authors of [7], [9], [10], [15] to improve the efficiency of the delivery process by forming a rational technology and structure of the supply chain do not take into account the complex impact of random factors of the process.…”
