Abstract

Global warming is of key importance among the many negative manifestations of human impact on the environment. The main cause of climate change and the observed global warming is the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) into the atmosphere, while the largest share of emissions is generated by transportation sector. It is declared that by 2050 GHG emissions in the transportation sector will be reduced by 90 per cent. In the part relating to road transport, a key role is to be played by digitization, transport automation, the use of intelligent traffic control systems and the abandonment of combustion engines in favour of electric ones. This study aims to present possible legal solutions aimed at introducing eco-routing solutions for vehicle traffic in the EU and obstacles to its widespread implementation and is aimed to begin discussion about this matter and the further studies in this area.
