The principle of the extended responsibility in the formation of multimodal transportation attractiveness

Summary/Abstract: It has been proved that the principle implementation of the enhanced liability in the activity of the industrial enterprises of Ukraine covers its implementation in the supply chain that protects the manufacturer’s responsibility for the entire product life cycle. It has been justified that one of the ways to increase responsibility of supply chain is to use multimodal transportation, which provides an effective combination of multiple transport types, optimises the delivery time, reduces storage costs, the total cost of transportation and provides a reduction of the amount of harmful emissions into the air. It has been proved that the internalisation of environmental costs in the final cost of the product or service reduces the negative impact on the environment and promotes the use of environmentally friendlier modes of transport in the supply chains. In the second half of 2015 the authors conducted an online survey among service managers of 30 transportation services enterprises. The survey showed that 45Ѓ}3% of the respondents provide transportation outside Ukraine; only 30Ѓ}2.5% give priority to compliance with European emission standards, while 40Ѓ}3% of the respondents consider it necessary to develop the market of multimodal transportation in Ukraine.
