How is own account transport well adapted to urban environments?
CRUZ, Cecilia

- Category 1 (Own account service very relevant): Municipalities where the shipment
frequency is high, tonnage is high, and time accessibility is good (defined as below
1.5 hours from the firm location). Own-account service is advantageous. Certain
municipalities situated to the east but not currently in the own-account zone may be
economically interesting. High delivery frequency and a location close to motorways
allow a faster rotation of equipment and thus better profitability.

- Category 2 (Own account service relevant in terms of tonnage and time):
Municipalities where tonnage is high and accessibility is good. Should be studied
attentively, as heavy shipments may make service profitable.

- Category 3 (Own account service relevant in terms of tonnage or of time):
Municipalities where either tonnage is high or accessibility is good. Own-account
delivery is less advantageous.

- Category 4 (Own account service not relevant): Certain municipalities are located
away from motorways and not relevant, as all shipment parameters for these
locations are negative.

While adjustments could be made to the initial service zone (cf. Fig. 9), they are minor (cf.
supra category 1).
