Abstract

In the face of growing air quality issues and increasing carbon dioxide emissions from the transport sector, there arises a necessity to limit the release of harmful substances into the atmosphere. National and European institutions are introducing stringent emission standards, forcing the transport industry to adapt and seek alternative sources of propulsion. The article analysed the impact of operating conventional and electric delivery vehicles in a courier company, taking into account their environmental impact and economic efficiency.
