Abstract: In France like in Europe, mobility and economic growth have been developing in the same way since several decades. The freight transport growth, usually expressed in ton kilometres, is more easily explained by the distance than by transported tonnes. This paper goes thoroughly uncoupling concept that has been studying since few years. Here, the coupling means that freight transport demand is correlated with economic growth. This perception permits to analyse the underlying freight transport logics 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. Classification JEL : L 910, R 300, R 400.
