Road Freight
Road transportation is the mode that has expanded the most over the last 50 years, both for passengers and freight markets. Compared to other types of transport system such as sea and air, the cost of maintaining roads is cheaper. Road transport can be in certain cases, the only method of transport in/to rural areas where other modes of transport are not available. You can easily cross borders and connect different parts of the world through roads via road transport.
Even with the presence of alternatives, road transport retains significant advantages over other modes:
- The capital cost of vehicles is relatively low, making it comparatively easy for new users to gain entry. This helps ensure that the trucking industry, for example, is highly competitive, but with low-profit margins. Low capital costs ensure that innovations and new technologies can diffuse quickly through the industry since a fleet can be renewed over a decade.
- Road transportation offers the flexibility of route choice, once a network of roads is provided. It has the unique opportunity to provide door-to-door services.
