Summary/Abstract: The subject of the study focuses on the implementation of the concept of internalization of external transport costs in the EU based on the SMCP formula. The research objective is to assess the expected effects this may cause with regard to sustainable mobility standards as well as transport and logistics supply chains operations. These effects are defined in the form of improving their efficiency and effectiveness. Qualitative research methods are principally used. The research results indicate that it will enhance the standards of driving sustainable mobility as well as transport and logistics macro-systems towards rationalization in terms of optimizing transport and inventory costs.
