    Este trabajo analiza la eficiencia técnica de las empresas europeas de transporte de mercancías por carretera durante el período 2004-2012. Los resultados muestran que las empresas de transporte de mercancías por carretera que utilizan plataformas logísticas adecuadamente son más eficientes. Otros resultados interesantes también fueron obtenidos corroborando que la liberalización de los sectores del transporte, la gestión de inventarios y el uso de las Tecnologías de Información y Comunicaciones lleva a mejoras en la eficiencia técnica de las empresas.

    This paper analyses the technical efficiency of European road freight transport companies over the period 2004-2012. The results show that road freight companies that use logistic platforms appropriately are more efficient. Other interesting results were also obtained showing that the liberalisation of transport sectors, inventory management and the use of Information and Communications Technology all lead to improvements in companies� technical efficiency.
