The author of the article discusses the principles of the Strategy of PKP S.A. for theyears 2016–2020 andthemain areas ofbusiness activity ofPKP S.A. andthePKP Group which derive the Strategy, for example, property management, innovation, cargo logistics and implementing objectives of the national transport policy. The author indicates the necessity to rationalize the PKP Group management through creating a structure that would operate as a holding company. The article concludes that implementation of the Strategy will ensure proper preparation of the Polish railway transport for the upcoming challenges. Macroeconomic trends clearly indicate the necessity to develop multimodality of passenger and freight transport, and the PKP Group takes them into account. The article pays particular attention to the concept of the Physical Internet in railway transport logistics by presenting the key objectives and benefits of the idea of the Physical Internet in railway transport based on the author’s own research and on analysis of the available external research sources.
