Abstract
The relationship between economic growth and development of freight transport demand generates generally an increase in energy consumption. Measures are implemented to improve the energy efficiency of freight transport. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effectiveness of Tunisian policies proposed through the decomposition technique of the intensity of road freight transport.
