Abstract (en)

Freight transport is considered as an important condition for successful economies. A well-functioning and lowcost transport system facilitates international trade, which subsequently may increase economic efficiency through gains of trade and specialization. In addition, an efficient transport system allows firms to optimise their production and distribution processes. Through these and another mechanisms freight transport, and transport in general, accommodates processes that brings positive welfare effects to society.
