The paper presents the issue of the impact of road infrastructure quality on the profitability results of operating articulated vehicles (semi-trailer sets) in Poland and Germany, as well as the resulting differences in transport performance efficiency of identical means of transport for carrying identical loads. The study attempts to analyze the impact of legal and administrative regulations concerning the maximum permissible gross weight of vehicles and axle loads for semi-trailer sets in both countries, followed by conclusions regarding load optimization in light of these regulations and the profitability of transport carried out in this manner. As a result, it became possible to draw conclusions about the competitiveness in this aspect of the operations of Polish and German enterprises.ANALYSIS OF THE COMPETITIVENESS OF FREIGT FORWARDING AND TRANSPORT ENTERPRISES IN POLAND AND GERMANY
The elaboration presents the problems connected to the impact of the quality of transport infrastructure on the results of the viability of operating semi-trailer sets in Poland and Germany, and the resulting differences in transport labor productivity of identical equipment to transport the same cargo. The authors have attempted to analyze the impact of regulation on the legal and regulatory targeting the maximum permissible weight of vehicles and the pressures on the sets semi-trailer axles in both countries and then moved to request targeting the optimization of loading in the light of these provisions and ongoing viability of the carriage. As a result, it became possible to apply for the competition in this aspect of the activities of Polish and German enterprises.
