The study showed that the optimization of transport and logistics potential of the automotive complex of the territory can become a point of growth, a vector of movement aimed at reducing the level of interregional economic differentiation and recovery of the progressive development of the economy. Consistent logistics of transport activities involves the consideration of freight from the standpoint of the streaming concept (movement and dynamics), when the transport cycle is a specialized logistics system, and the stages of this cycle (working with the clientele, transportation, warehousing and cargo processing) – logistics business processes.

The need to study the laws of the implementation of transport and logistics potential of the automotive complex in relation to the dynamics of indicators of inter-territorial differences, both economic and natural-climatic character, determined the choice of research direction, its theoretical and practical significance.
