The paper briefly describes the traditional economic approach in the confrontation with a logistics concept of transport as a complex of logistics services. From the management point of view, it can be basically described as a vertical transition from management to process management within the logistics chain. Transport in the circulatory process can in this sense be characterized as a system with strong initiator effects on the entire circulatory process. Logistics trasnport acts as a intensifying factor of supply chains and at the same time, it affects the logistics technology based on the traffic.
