Abstract

? In France as in Europe, mobility and economic growth have been developing at about the same pace for several decades. The freight transport growth, usually expressed in ton kilometres, is more easily explained by the distance than by transported tonnes. This paper focusses on the uncoupling concept that has been studied for few years. Here, the coupling means that freight transport demand is correlated with economic growth. This perception allows to analyse the underlying freight transport logic and to suggest different means for reducing negative externalities. The approach is based on the links between industrial and logistic organizations, location of activities and planning of freight transport systems.
