STUDY OF THE ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY OF THE USE OF VEHICLES IN THE TRANSPORTATION OF GOODS ON INTERNATIONAL ROUTES

Abstract

The article presents the results of a study of the economic efficiency of using vehicles on international routes for the transportation of goods and the directions of its increase, which affects the performance of an enterprise. The purpose of the study is to develop measures aimed at improving the efficiency of international road transportation. In order to maximize the efficiency of international road transportation, it is necessary to apply a comprehensive approach that includes both revenue growth and cost reduction. Since it is difficult to influence revenue, the main focus should be on cost optimization. Reducing variable costs, in particular through rational routing, will significantly increase the profitability of transportation. Revenues from international road transportation are highly dependent on market conditions, and route optimization is one of the most effective tools for increasing profitability. After all, it is the route that determines the costs of fuel, depreciation and travel, which account for a significant portion of a transport company's total expenses. Achieving maximum efficiency in international road transportation requires a comprehensive approach that includes both increasing revenues and reducing costs. Since it is difficult to influence sales, the main focus should be on cost optimization. Reducing variable costs, especially through rational route planning, can significantly increase the profitability of transportation.
