Abstract
The European community becomes more and more transport intensive. Especially the long distance road transport of goods has grown for a long time significantly faster than industrial production. This is due to the regime of competition and relative prices. It compels to exhaust all economic chances lying in the division of labour. This is the reason why market economies have a superior efficiency and show a dynamic development which cannot be sustainable as it is. Transport policy is challenged to set conditions in a way that market dynamism works in favour of sustainable development. Today the internalisation of the overall social and ecological cost of the transport sector is therefore seen as one possibility. But the outcoming prices do not easily guarantee a transport of goods compatible with sustainability. Prices covering all costs are not identical with prices in a market economy. These are the outcome of the interaction between supply and demand. But what is the supply of environment available to the transport sector? What are the economic consequences of supply volume of environment which is compatible with sustainable development?
