Productivity of road freight transport services in Poland an EU

The paper deals with the problem of the productivity of transportation services in freight road transport. The considerations focus on the market in Poland. It presents the results of calculations made by the author. The goal of it was to identify possible factors of this productivity. Classical measures were used – tkm/vehicle and EUR/vehicle. The main thesis was that the productivity of this sector transport is influenced by external factors (area and GDP of country) and thus independent from transport companies. The relations between this productivity and its factors and observed phenomena seems to be confirmed in case of Poland but surprisingly not on the European level. Because of that the author postulates to conduct further and deeper research.
