Freight transports are an integral part of the economic life and the production process of each country around the world, while their development is necessary for the successful movement of goods. However, there is a significant impact on society due to the use of freight transport such as greenhouse gas emissions, noise pollution, traffic accidents, traffic jams and others. It is clear that besides the evident environmental problems, a series of social and economic problems are created. Nevertheless, in the last decades, the sector of road freight transport has had a remarkable development, with emphasis on reducing the social impact in order to improve the sustainability and the growth of the sector itself.
The main purpose of this thesis is to record and assess the current condition of the road freight transports sector in Greece and its likely development in the coming years.
