Abstract [eng] The European Green Deal is a comprehensive strategy proposed by the European Union (EU) to make the EU carbon-neutral by 2050. The article uses qualitative analysis methods to assess the applicability of the European Green Deal assumptions in the transport sector. A PESTEL analysis was conducted. From a political perspective, the Green Deal initiative, and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector are supported by the EU and individual member states. There is political pressure to implement stricter regulations for reducing the emissions. From an economic perspective, the higher costs associated with the development and production of low-emission vehicles and infrastructure can lead to higher prices for consumers. There will be challenges related to changing societal attitudes and behaviours about transportation, such as reliance on private vehicles and the need for more sustainable modes of transportation. Advances in technology have made low-emission vehicles and alternative modes of transportation more feasible and accessible. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions and combating climate change is the main goal of the European Green Deal, which is a serious environmental challenge. The transport sector requires many changes to reduce the negative impact on the environment. A PESTEL methodology analysis has been conducted, which shows that the implementation of the European Green Deal poses a variety of challenges and development opportunities. The implementation of such a large revolution in the functioning of the economy requires a detailed analysis of the feasibility of implementation. The consequences of political decisions will be felt for many years and may be irreversible. This should be borne in mind when remembering the consequences of broken supply chains during the COVID-19 pandemic. We propose to extend the discussion, which will prepare the transport sector in more detail for the challenges of the European Green Deal.
