Transek AB has on behalf of CPM (Centrum för Produktrelaterad Miljöanalys) made a brief scanning and investigation of what is going on regarding regulations, measures, legislation, directives etc. on national as well as EU level which could increase the costs for freight transports in the future. In the debate today you can often hear predictions that the industry need to ’be prepared for environmentally generated costs’. The members of the CPM wish to further analyze what is about to happen in this field. The aim has been to through bench-marking find out what is going on regarding measures, means of control such as taxes and fees, regulations, directives, other legislation etc. within Sweden and the European Union that could have affect the costs of freight transports. Not only taxes but also such means of control and other measures that could have an effect on congestion in the transport system and time losses in the logistic systems have been of interest here.
