Acronym: PSXEM Study
Project Title: Study for estimating the overall truck operating cost for urban and domestic freight transport journeys
Duration: 3 months (14/11/2012 – 14/02/2013)
Description & Objectives: Considering the overall framework of the road freight transport sector in Greece as well as the needs of freight transport professionals, this study aims to establish an analytical and documented basis for estimating truck operating costs for a specific, urban or national, freight transport journey. Through a state-of-the-art literature review, the results of which were validated by freight transport professionals, this study presents in detail the components that form the overall truck operating cost. These components fall under the following three categories:
- general information describing the freight transport journey and truck under examination,
- cost components that compose the fixed truck operating cost and
- cost components that compose the variable truck operating cost.
Based on the aforementioned information, the overall truck operating cost can be estimated as presented in four indicative examples which are included within the last section of the study, aiming to facilitate the use of the tool that was developed to this end thus making the overall procedure easier to understand.
HIT key role and responsibilities: HIT is subcontract of the project.
