In today's globalized world, the trend of outsourcing allows the transfer of production capacity to the location where they expect the best returns with the objective of growth and the creation of added value. However, stated requests new solutions within the supply chain. From the perspective of customers, new models, such as virtual organizations, and just- in-time system are strongly influenced by the change in demand for transport services and a strong emphasis is placed on speed, accuracy and reliability of delivery. These characteristics represent the main advantages of road transport, which could, with its flexibility, meet the set requirements. The principal task of this research is to investigate and analyse the importance of road transport of goods within the supply chain. While it is important to manage all the processes of supply chains, transportation is the most important but also the most expensive process within the chain in the European Union.

Therefore, depending on the activity and size of company, it is very important to manage the organization of transport in order to achieve significant savings in this segment. Europe has, after World War II, given great importance to road transport that has become the main link between buyers and suppliers. Analysis of the European Union stressed the importance and value of road transport of goods for the European transport industry, and thus the supply chain in Europe.
