Abstract: The aim of the article is to present the subject of economic aspects of outsourcing in the field of selected logistics services on the example of the automotive industry. The verification of the following research hypothesis was used to achieve this goal. Outsourcing in the scope of selected logistic services may lead to measurable economic benefits in the form of reduced costs of logistic services. The implementation of this task required the author to apply appropriate research methods and techniques, such as: analysis of available literature sources and internal materials, methods of induction and deduction, and interview methods (computer-assisted telephone interviewing), in order to demonstrate economic benefits from the use of outsourcing in relation to selected logistic services. The direct recipients of the research results, apart from researchers dealing with the outsourcing and logistics of services, will also be entities from the automotive market, which at the current stage are considering the possibility of implementing the discussed concept in terms of planned organizational changes.
