Cognitive biases often occur even in the decision-making process of highly qualified company managers due to the drive for efficiency and time pressure in operations. At the same time, there are also long-term strategic decisions where time pressure is no longer a factor, and yet cognitive bias appears, which has to be considered properly. In strategic issues, decision-makers tend to see their wishes and desires rather than the objective reality. The proposed system of fuzzy indicators based on technical and objective data supports decision-making between logistics strategies by mitigating cognitive biases, which is extremely important in the logistics field, where the decisions have to be made partly based on subjective, vague, or uncertain parameters.

The harmful emissions from transport participants - including carbon dioxid -, are largery responsible for the climate change. As freight transport is a significant part of transport, nowadays serious emphasis should be placed on the investigation and reduction of the emissions of freight vehicles. In this article, we made calculations about CO2 emissions of freight transport related to each transport in sub-sector. The aim of our examination is to describe the possibilities of reducing harmful substances emitted during the movement of goods through calculations, so that the emission values meet the targets set by the European Union.
