20.500.12556/DiRROS-18287 Overview of global long-distance road Transportation of industrial roundwood The aim of the study was to provide a comprehensive overview of global long-distance road transportation of industrial roundwood. The study focused on the maximum gross vehicle weight (GVW) limits allowed with different timber truck configurations, typical payloads in timber trucking, the road transportation share of the total industrial roundwood longdistance transportation volume, and the average long-distance transportation distances and costs of industrial roundwood. The study was carried out as a questionnaire survey. The questionnaire was sent to timber transportation logistics experts and research scientists in the 30 countries with the largest industrial roundwood removals in Europe, as well as selected major forestry countries in the world (Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Japan, New Zealand, South Africa, Türkiye, the United States of America and Uruguay) in February 2022, and closed in May 2022. A total of 31 countries took part in the survey. The survey illustrated that timber trucking was the main long-distance transportation method of industrial roundwood in almost every country surveyed. Road transportation averaged 89% of the total industrial roundwood long-distance transportation volume. Timber truck configurations of 4 to 9 axles with GVW limits of around 30 tonnes to over 70 tonnes were most commonly used. The results indicated that higher GVW limits allowed significantly higher payloads in timber trucking, with the lowest payloads at less than 25 tonnes, and the highest payloads more than 45 tonnes. The average road transportation distance with industrial roundwood was 128 km, and the average long-distance transportation cost in timber trucking was €11.1 per tonne of timber transported. In the entire survey material, there was a direct relationship between transportation distance and transportation costs and an inverse relationship between maximum GVW limits and transportation costs. Consequently, in order to reduce transportation costs, it is essential to maximise payloads (within legal limits) and minimise haul distances. Several measures to increase cost- and energy-efficiency, and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in road transportation logistics, are discussed in the paper. On the basis of the survey, it is recommended that upto-date statistical data and novel research studies on the long-distance transportation of industrial roundwood be conducted in some countries in the future. timber logistics timber hauling timber trucking gross vehicle weight payload transportation distance transportation cost cost efficiency limit payload logistika lesa prevoz lesa avtoprevoz lesa skupna teža vozila omejitev tovora razdalja prevoza stroški prevoza stroškovna učinkovitost true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2024-02-28 13:43:31 2024-02-28 13:43:32 2025-07-22 08:48:51 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 Nasl. z nasl. zaslona; Opis vira z dne 28. 2. 2024; Skupno št. avtorjev: 42; Avtorji iz Slovenije: Triplat Matevž; str. 217-236 iss. 1 Vol. 45 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 630*3 1848-9672 10.5552/crojfe.2024.2286 187092739 https://crojfe.com/archive/volume-45-no.1/overview-of-global-long-distance-road-transportation-of-industrial-roundwood/ 1 9a63a6ac-d62e-11ee-900a-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=24841 187092739.pdf 187092739.pdf 1 7D1FEAEA6924B87EE377CB5C9C6CFE39 317c56215d80a2b56f24fb506c2b926585c83c77a60d0096383f5dc3a12d5a67 a98a89b7-d62e-11ee-900a-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=24842 Gozdarski inštitut Slovenije 0 0 0
