Transport has been one of main activities since the very beginning of human history and has developed through different forms to its present form where life without transport is almost unimaginable. One of the signs of developed and highly developed countries is the high development of transport activities and their efficiency in the domicile economy. Transport easily overcomes both spatial and temporal barriers and thus contributes to a higher quality of life, and consequently to the expansion of the market itself. With the growth of the world’s economy and the growing and faster process of globalization, the needs for transport services, specifically the exchange of goods and services between and within countries, are also growing. Although transport and especially new transport technologies adequately solve all the demands of the population and thereby enrich the environment where we live, it also creates a negative impact on the environment, causing ecological problems. In addition to ecological problems, sustainability problems stand out, especially when examining the energy sources that drive transport as a whole. The clear sky during the global lockdown showed that the Earth can be revitalized in a very short time with less atmospheric pollution, which was caused in that period with an unprecedented reduction in the consumption of fossil energy. Because of the big influence of transport on all segments of the economy of a given country, but also the irreplaceability of transport as such, it is quite important to approach the resolution of conflict situations, which most certainly entails the complex issue of energy sources, known and united under the term energy crisis. Many experts in the field of energy emphasize the importance of resorting to alternative, sustainable and renewable energy sources, so it is important to implement this thought as much as possible through transport activities. The contribution of this work is reflected in the review of the literature related to the challenges for the transport industry in the energy crisis and the conducted primary research. The results of the research will enable recommendations and advice to be given to people in charge of managing crisis situations in the transport industry with an emphasis on the energy crisis.
