Comparative analysis of hazardous materials transport, among others using SUW 2000 system of self-adjusted wheel-sets, was based on the established effectiveness model (LCC analysis). The analysis pointed out both economic effects and the application’s restrictions in assumed and presented variants.}, doi = {10.4467/2353737XCT.14.053.2503}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/czasopismo-techniczne/article/life-cycle-cost-analysis-of-europe-asia-transportation-systems} }
