MOBILITY AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Sustainable development focuses on meeting the needs of present without compromising future generations’ prospects of meeting the same needs plus those which will be present then. The concept of sustainable development was internationally established within the report “Our Common Future” of the World Commission on Environment and Development (a commission convened in 1983 by the General Assembly of United Nations). Reaching global sustainability, satisfying the needs of present without compromising the ability of future generations to satisfy their own needs, is one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century. Where can we place transportation among the sustainable development issues? Transportation is the activity which creates a bond between companies located at different distances from each other. Under such perspective, it is necessary to analyze “the sustainable transportation system” as a part of “sustainable mobility” in order to respond to the requirement of using certain logistics circuits which could lead to an economical transportation between industrial enterprises and distribution companies. The timid, but globally noticeable, trends to overcome the crisis at the beginning of 2010 give high responsibilities to carriers, as they are forced to focus on the quality of transportation and to reconsider the distance concept (together with their beneficiaries) by using “sustainable mobility.”
