description This study deals with the subject of the Fourth Industrial Revolution; that is, Industry 4.0 or Revolution 4.0 discusses its impact on contemporary road transport and the development of Transport 4.0. The needs of the industry as well as the transport industry change diametrically with the correspondingly sudden and rapid development of technology, as well as the requirements of companies hiring new employees. To meet the future requirements of Revolution 4.0, the vocational training program should undergo a major overhaul. Therefore, it is important to determine what skills and qualifications of employees of transport companies should be currently developed. The study presents fragments of analyses performed as part of the F2J – “Future-Ready Ed Right Skills To Right Job” project, financed by the European Commission under the Erasmus + Program. The main goal of this article is to identify the skills and characteristics of transport companies’ employees that are most required from the point of view of the Revolution 4.0. Both technical and soft skills to be imparted into the human workforce for Transport 4.0 were reported. Study shows the need to address the integration of the concept of Revolution 4.0 into the current education system. The article is based on the analysis of data from highly qualified employees who work in transport companies (practitioners), as well as people involved in education and comprehensive preparation of people for work in the transport industry (educators). A total of 63 people participated in the study.
