The future of sustainable solutions in freight transport is crucial for ecology and sustainability. As cities become increasingly more crowded, it is necessary to look for innovative transport methods that reduce emissions and are more energy efficient. The implementation of new technologies, such as intelligent transport management systems and intermodal solutions, allows for the optimization of freight transport and the reduction of emissions. Social involvement and promoting awareness of sustainable transport are essential for city residents to support green initiatives. Cooperation between the public and private sectors, investments in modern infrastructure, and support for scientific research are crucial to overcome barriers, such as the costs of implementing new technologies, financial constraints, and problems related to outdated infrastructure. Care for the environment and economic sustainability are foundations that must be taken into account when planning future transport solutions. The introduction of alternative energy sources and the modernization of railway infrastructure are priorities that can significantly improve the efficiency and capacity of freight logistics. The aim of this study is to analyze the possibilities of developing ecological and sustainable freight transport in cities. This study engaged 53 experts with experience in low-emission green technologies to examine the factors influencing the development of sustainable solutions in freight transport. The results of the analysis emphasize the importance of social involvement, economic sustainability, care for the environment, administrative efficiency, and solid infrastructure. Initiatives related to the circular economy and pollution prevention have proven to be important. However, numerous barriers are encountered, such as gaps in public awareness, economic challenges, environmental problems, administrative difficulties, and outdated infrastructure. The key technologies indicated by experts are intelligent transport management systems and intermodal transport. Priority investments concern alternative energy sources and the modernization of railway infrastructure, which are necessary to improve the efficiency and capacity of freight logistics. This study highlights the multifaceted challenges and opportunities in eco-logistics, pointing to the need for collaboration and strategic investment in sustainable transport solutions.
