Abstract: Abstract Due to the specificity of the EU economy and the potential for the freight industry, the public policy decision-makers have been actively engaged in determining the sources of unsustainable logistics, with the main drive toward greening the entire trans-European network. The World Bank database allows for the construction of a study based on indicators related to fuel consumption, CO2 emissions, GHG emissions, for the purpose of estimating the effect they have on the whole EU economy. The public policies on the EU agenda refer to the cleaning of the transport sector for more than a decade now. The current study will estimate the totality of emissions from transport in correlation to the forecasted effects of the coercive legislation for greening the freight network, in three European countries–Cyprus, the Netherlands, and Latvia. The three countries have been selected due to their specificity of freight transport modes that covers their infrastructure. The results are showcasing the possible links to the state of the country’s economic sustainability and to the implemented public policies for greening the freight transport industry.
