“…In the aforementioned analysis, the high initial investment to acquire transport vehicles caused the first three years to represent losses for the forestry company, with the discounted payback being evaluated at 3.55 years, meaning the time to receive the return on capital occurred from the third year after the initial investment. The financial return was evident after this period, with this trend being observed in works carried out for the economic analysis of transport, as reported by Tarichi et al 2013 andSavi et al 2012.…”

The analysis of economic feasibility in the forest transport segment is essential for companies to support decision-making. The objective of this work was to evaluate the economic return and to simulate a sensitivity scenario using the Monte Carlo technique when incorporating outsourced wood transport activity by the forestry company. The study was carried out in a company in the forestry segment located on the north coast of Bahia, Brazil, which uses a Biminhão (semi-truck with a flatbed trailer) as its base for transport. The costs, revenues and uncertainties involved in the activity were analyzed. The following viability criteria were used: NPV, EAV, IRR, APC, BCR and PayBack period. A sensitivity analysis was performed as a way to support the safety of the evaluated project. The economic evaluation was positive in all analyzed criteria (NPV US$ 129,231.54); VAE (US$18,827.22); (CMP US$ 2.62/m³); B/C (1.08), IRR (75%) and PayBack period (3.55 years). The probability of generating negative NPV results in the conducted simulation was 20.4%, with the main influencing variables being the freight value and the interest rate. Considering the data under study, incorporating wood transport activity with the use of a semi-truck with a flatbed trailer by the forestry company proved to be attractive and did not present a significant economic risk.

“…The type of truck to be used in the timber transport will determine the pattern of the necessary forest roads (Cavalli and Grigolato, 2010;Savi et al, 2012). Forest roads with higher traffic volume and vehicles with higher load capacity must be designed and constructed in accordance with more demanding technical requirements, and a more frequent and intensive maintenance should be provided after construction.…”

“…Several studies have pointed out that larger trucks have lower transport costs, among which, predominantly, bitrem, tritrem and road train, all with load capacity greater than 45 t (Silva et al, 2007;Savi et al, 2012;Alves et al, 2013;Lopes et al, 2016;Moreira et al, 2017). However, such compositions require large volumes of timber and road patterns that are not found in the study region (topographical constraints) and in other similar regions.…”

Feasibility Analysis of the Use of Light and Medium Trucks in Timber Transport in Rural Properties

et al. 2018

Aiming to analyze the economic-financial feasibility of the use of light and medium trucks in the transport of the timber produced by small farmers within the process of forest production, two types of light trucks and two of medium trucks were evaluated in 14 rural properties in the State of Espírito Santo. Considering the transport cycles, distances, productivity of the forests, acquisition values, load capacity and fuel consumption of each truck, in addition to the cost of opening roads, nonlinear regression equations were adjusted to estimate the timber transport cost in the different scenarios evaluated. Transport costs were included in the cash flow of the forest production process, and the internal rate of return and net present value for all combinations were evaluated. The results configured the light truck in the 6x2 version as the most economically viable alternative for timber transport, with 125 km being the maximum feasible distance in forests with productivity up to 250 m3/ha. In forests with productivity above 300 m3/ha, the medium truck in the 6x2 version proved to be the most viable economic alternative in distances over 150 km. The light and medium trucks in the 4x2 version did not prove to be the best economic alternative in any of the evaluated situations. It is concluded that light trucks are an economically viable alternative for timber transport, in order to ensure the profitability and sustainability of the forestry business in small rural properties.
