An Estimator for the Road Freight Handling Factor
SSRN Electronic Journal, 1997Analysis of road freight transport is hindered by the lack of direct observations of the handling factor. The handling factor is the frequency of lifts of the tonnes in the supply chain from origin to destination. It also is the number of times that the same tonnes are reported to the central statistical office.

The goal of this research was to measure the cost of road freight transport in the 20 European countries with the highest recorded quantity of tonne-kilometres and assess their competitiveness. Cost competitiveness was measured by four main cost categories: fuels, drivers' wages, tyres and tolls, and the results show large cost variances between ...

The Growth of Road Freight in the UK
International Journal of Physical Distribution & Materials Management, 1989The volume of road freight movement in the UK has more than doubled over the past 25 years and its present growth is considerably exceeding official forecasts made in 1984. An attempt is made to explain why this growth has occurred, taking account of the close relationship between tonne‐kilometres and economic growth and outlining several spatial ...

Determinants of Capacity Utilisation in Road Freight Transportation
Journal of Transport Economics and Policy, 2014Recent performance indicators in the European road freight transport sector show there is an excess capacity. To shed light on this, this paper studies two aspects of capacity utilisation in trucking: the extent of empty running and the load factor. Using a joint econometric modelling framework, the paper shows that they can be explained as a function ...

Harmonisation and Road Freight Transport
1981The EEC has made relatively limited progress in harmonising the transport policies of its Member countries. The drafters of the Rome Treaty believed that the establishment of the common market itself required co-ordinating national transport policies and eventually the formation of a common transport policy (CTP).
