Resumo: Climate change has been an occurring and very present subject on an international level. The world’s ecosystem is heavily affected through human activities in relation to industrial innovation as well as rising consumption. The transport sector alone is responsible for about 26% of global emissions with road transport and aviation in the leading positions. This dissertation sets focus on road transportation, more specifically road freight, making up for approximately half of the emissions related to road transportation. In order to elaborate on common sustainability challenges within the sector of road freight, this dissertation focuses on two countries, Germany and Portugal. Representatives of four road transportation companies are questioned on their opinions concerning sustainability challenges. The answers are accompanied by the view of a renowned research institute. Based on the analysis, this dissertation provides an assessment of the company’s progress and readiness to achieve the European Green Deal targets. The resulting findings are presented based on tactical and strategic challenges of different complexity.

O ecossistema mundial é fortemente afetado pelas atividades humanas em relação à inovação industrial e também ao aumento do consumo. O setor de transporte sozinho é responsável por cerca de 26% das emissões globais, com o transporte rodoviário e a aviação nas posições de liderança. Esta dissertação enfoca o transporte rodoviário, mais especificamente o transporte rodoviário de cargas, respondendo por aproximadamente metade das emissões relacionadas ao transporte rodoviário. Com o objetivo de elaborar desafios comuns de sustentabilidade no setor do transporte rodoviário de mercadorias, esta dissertação centra-se em dois países, Alemanha e Portugal. Representantes de quatro transportadoras são questionados sobre suas opiniões sobre os desafios da sustentabilidade. As respostas são acompanhadas pela visão de um renomado instituto de pesquisa. Com base na análise, esta dissertação fornece uma avaliação do progresso da empresa e da prontidão para atingir as metas do European Green Deal, na Europa. As conclusões resultantes são apresentadas com base em desafios táticos e estratégicos de complexidade diferente.2023-11-26T00:00:00Z2020-11-26T00:00:00Z2020-11-262020-10info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10071/21393TID:202570762engMago, Alinainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-12-03T01:17:52Zoai:repositorio.iscte-iul.pt:10071/21393Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T22:19:38.036414Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
