IMPACT OF ECOLOGY ON THE PRODUCTIVITY OF ROAD COMMERCIAL VEHICLES

It is comprehendible that any measure affecting the productivity of road commercial vehicles will be strenuously opposed by the owners and operators of transport companies. This opposition is often greater to the extent that its preparation and presentation have been insufficient. The opinion that ecological measures have a negative impact on the productivity of road commercial vehicles is quite widespread; however, placing such a great stress on that opinion is rather exaggerated. In the course of introducing ecological measures, a decrease in productivity occurs, as a rule, that applies to the time required for the transport companies to adapt to it. The duration of the adaptation stage depends on the type of measure and the viability of the companies. If the adaptation of enterprises is integral and efficient, the original productivity will be surpassed after the initial lapse.
