Modal split in freight transport growth during

the last 40 years, precisely from1970 to 2006.

Recently about 98% of the energy used by the

transport sector comes from fossil

fuels (as being stated by the project Green

mobility on the move – intelligent Energy April 2009)

Might we foresee the consequences of so rapid GDP growth on transport sector, followed by the impacts on environment and energy consumption

Boris ŽIVEC

For the South Eastern Europe we are commonly with the national partners from the complex region through the

SEETAC project seeking the possibilities for future sustainable

transport system, that would base on multimodality and rational use of

energy.

Boris ŽIVEC

It is a high time for in depth consideration of the dilemma on Stand and Withstand

Thank you for your attention
