Abstract

The aim of the chapter is the analysis of effects of joint organisation and provision of transport by independent enterprises. Based on the data obtained from four independent market enterprises, the analysis of potential for cooperation in two basic variants has been carried out and the measurable effects of this cooperation were examined. The study demonstrated the scale of cost savings which can be achieved as a result of combination of transport orders and the level of environmental effects, understood in this case as the change in the CO2 emissions. The obtained level of results allows the conclusion to be made that the cooperation between the Companies is beneficial both in the micro scale (positive economic effect for the respective companies), as well as in the macro scale (a reduction in the CO2 emissions).
