Starting from the fact that over 80% of the global freight transport is using seas and oceans, it’s interesting to know how is splitting the inland freight transport on rail, road and inland waterways. Inland freight transport is dominated by road transport but attempts are being made, by various means, to increase the share of rail and inland waterway transport. The objectives proposed by EU for limiting greenhouse gas emissions require using of less polluting means of transport. The transformations in logistics chains cause by Industry 4.0 impose permanent adaptations of the transport modalities to the market requirements. The present paper proposes an analysis of the share of inland transport modes in the case of Romania and the influence of different factors for each mode of transport.
