Pricing in Road Freight Transport
https://doi.org/10.30932/1992-3252-2022-20-5-5
Abstract
Creation of price in road freight transport in Central Europe has undergone significant changes in the last 30 years. Transporters in regulated economy used mandatory tariffs, after the liberalisation of the market they were subsequently not prepared for their own price creation. Price calculation has gone through several stages of development. At present, there are existing cost calculations that are based on the division of costs into variable and fixed ones. After the accession of Central European countries to the European Union, competition in this sector has increased significantly. When calculating the price for transport, transporters use a coefficient of exploitation of journeys, which adjust the costs associated with the transport so that the costs also take into account the journey with the vehicle, which the transporter must carry out without the shipment.
The aim of this paper is to prove that from the point of view of the competitiveness of price creation it is not economically correct to use the coefficient of exploitation of journeys as a constant coefficient. The authors prove in the article that the value of the coefficient depends not only on the route of consignment transport but also on the time of transport realisation.
