dc.description.abstractThis thesis examines the use of High-Capacity Transport (HCT) vehicles in container logistics, as well as the use of dry ports and last mile efficiency. The study focuses on comparing single and double trailer configurations, examining their respective advantages in terms of cost-effectiveness, operational efficiency, and environmental sustainability. Meanwhile dry ports, as key hubs for relieving congestion in seaports and streamlining the distribution process, focus on specific situations suitable for implementation. The thesis assesses the economic viability of HCT vehicles and dry ports in transport scenarios through a combination of literature review, case studies, and data analysis. The results of the study show that the combination of HCT vehicles and strategically located dry ports can significantly reduce transport costs, improve supply chain efficiency, and support more sustainable logistics operations. The study provides insights into optimizing container transport for long-haul and last-mile movements, contributing to the development of more efficient and environmentally friendly freight transport solutions.
