%X Cargo consolidation is an important step towards sustainable development of transport. It allows to reduce: emission of greenhouse gases, energy consumption, fuel consumption. Combining cargos in one vehicle allows to reduce the number of runs necessary to deliver goods to the clients. It allows to reduce the amount of pollution, fuel consumption and costs of transport. Cargo consolidation also reduces emission of harmful substances to natural environment and allows enterprises to save time and money. As a result of the data obtained and the analysis carried out, solutions were proposed to reduce transport costs for both customer A and customer B. It has been proven that cargo consolidation is now a very important element of the entire supply chain to the destination in terms of sustainable transport development.
