The impact of the European Union mobility package on the performance of road freight transport companies: a case study of Lithuania

Abstract

Mobility package – general rules for carriers working in European Union (EU) countries adopted in 2020. The implementation of this package had to maintain a balance between driver safety and a sustainable economy, while taking care of the market and economic needs of EU countries. However, the entry into force of this package caused many problems for the carriers of small countries such as Lithuania. The carriers of this country have almost no conditions for implementing Mobility Package solutions, and companies are starting to look for opportunities to transfer their activities to foreign markets, thus getting closer to the main markets where they carry out transportation.
