After the costCosts of the driver, fuel consumptionFuel consumption is the most important cost factor in the trucking business. In long-distance haulage, diesel consumption accounts for 30% of the costs calculated over the entire service life of the vehicle. Fig. 1.1 shows the cost breakdown of a European long-distance trucking company.
