COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE EFFICIENCY OF GROUPAGE AND COMPLETE TRANSPORTATION ON A SPECIFIC ROUTE
Abstract
This article performs a comparative analysis of the economic efficiency of groupage and full load transport on the international route Bulgaria-Italy. By applying a mathematical model for cost optimization, key indicators such as fuel consumption, revenue per litre of fuel, ton-kilometre, load factor and profit per course have been studied. The results obtained show that groupage transport offers higher profitability and better use of available capacity compared to full load transport, which confirms their strategic importance for small transport enterprises.
