Sažetak
Road transport has crucial role for the development of any society, and a well-planned infrastructure is one of the key prerequisite of economic growth. Road transports connects production and final consumers so it is essential for adequate functioning of any economic systems. Road transport occupies the leading role in the entire transport by land in almost all countries of Union, and Republiic of Croatia is not an exception. The purpose of this paper was to underline basic characteristics of road freight market in the Republic of Croatia. It is a highly fragmented industry and due to that there is no company which could significantly influence the industry’s profitability, as it is consisted of a large number of small companies. Most Croatian transporting companies have small vehicle fleets (up to 5 vehicles) with a poor average age structure. It is necessary to encourage alliances between Croatian road freight transportation companies, through clusters or associations, in order to operate together internationally and domestically. Despite the fact that in the Republic of Croatia, a few clusters have been operating for years now, their role is still marginal. Main problem is that most of Croatian road transporters are still not aware how alliances would influence their operations and make business dealings easier and more successful, both on the domestic and international market.
