Abstract
W niniejszym artykule zostały zaprezentowane niektóre czynniki utrudniające wprowadzenie radykalnej eko-innowacji w przemyśle samochodowym. Te trudności to: koszty transakcji, struktura organizacyjna, opłacalność, grupy interesu, duże zmiany wymagane przez łańcuch logistyczny, cykl życia pojazdu oraz rynki finansowe. Istnieją argumenty za tym, aby eko-wydajność była stymulowana przez rząd.(abstrakt oryginalny)

In this article, some factors hampering the introduction of radical eco-innovation in the car industry are discussed. These difficulties include transaction costs, organisational structure, profability issues, interest groups, large changes required in the logistic chain, the life-cycle of the car and financial markets. Arguments are provided that the government should stimulate eco-efficiency.(original abstract)
