“…Transportation systems are essential conditions for human existence as they are crucial aids for human groups to obtain their means of subsistence from nature. Moreover, they are also means of production for social life [19]. Therefore, transportation represents, on average, 60% of the total logistics cost [12].…”

Transportation is responsible for delivering a product to the supply chain, which is why it is often cited as a potential factor of competitive advantage for companies. However, more and more companies are opting to outsource their transportation service demands instead of investing in their own fleet. This research falls under the qualitative research method with an exploratory investigation level based on a literature review. Based on the literature review conducted, it was possible to conclude that the main advantages of a company-owned fleet are primarily the availability of transportation to the company and control over drivers and deliveries. The general objective of this study was to conduct a comparative study on the decision moment between an own, outsourced, or mixed road transportation fleet. It sought to highlight the best option in terms of cost-benefit and profitability, for the most dynamic choice among these modes of operation, with the goal of business profitability and sustainability. The research indicates that outsourcing increases competitiveness when the company-owned fleet is not sufficient to meet the demand, constituting a profitable solution. However, the balance between cost and vehicle availability is in the acquisition of a mixed fleet.

“…Essa compreensão será importante para este trabalho, pois, situa o processo de urbanização do território brasileiro à luz das intensas dinâmicas da economia capitalista contemporânea (CORRÊA, 2007;SPOSITO, 2007). Sobretudo nos cenários de recentes transformações, esses lugares têm como imperativos a circulação e o desenvolvimento das suas condições de relacionamento com outros centros urbanos; são lógicas espaciais que modificam o conteúdo das cidades na atualidade (ARROYO, 2006;SILVEIRA, 2018).…”

Quando as discussões geográficas exploram o tema dos papéis urbanos e das centralidades que as cidades exercem, alguns elementos possuem uma importância fundamental, como os ligados à circulação. Na atividade dos transportes, a movimentação de passageiros nos revela topologias de fluxos de pessoas que são próprios da formação urbano-regional. Face a isso, este trabalho objetiva discutir as interações espaciais em Chapecó, cidade média situada no Oeste de Santa Catarina, a partir dos transportes coletivos aéreo e rodoviário. Essas atividades são um produto dialético das funções e papéis desempenhados na rede urbana nacional. Com apoio de dados de órgãos públicos, a discussão problematiza a importância dos transportes na produção das cidades, expressão da mais ampla divisão territorial do trabalho e de uma economia sustentada em fluxos gradualmente mais acelerados. Conclui-se que os fluxos de pessoas são expressões da própria formação socioespacial, concretizam relações regionais e conjugam as transformações recentes do território brasileiro.

This article investigates the economic gains with the reduction of logistic costs after the asphalt pavement of the highway MT 235 for a Brazilian crystal sugar and alcohol industry. Investment in infrastructure is an attribute that increases economic growth and increases the competitiveness of companies. As far as road transport infrastructure is concerned, the problems are not limited to a specific area, but stretches of highways, which link urban transportation and ports to the generation and transmission of electricity, among others. Only 12.2% of Brazilian highways are paved. This work is the result of a longitudinal case study with participant observation, in a time line from 2009 to 2017. It was possible to identify that, after improvements in road transport infrastructure, the asphalt pavement of the highway MT 235 made possible a gain in travel time and a decrease in logistics costs, which led to the closure of the activities of one of the subsidiaries of the company studied, located in Manaus (Amazonas), in 2009. With the benefits of the asphalt pavement of the MT 235, in 2017 we found that sales volume increased 650% in relation to 2011, logistics costs have been significantly reduced in relation to gross revenues, maintaining an average of 11.58%. In 2017, the logistic costs of the company studied were 12.61% versus 20.7% from the group of Brazilian agribusiness companies. The findings show that investments in road transport infrastructure are crucial when it comes to fostering trade and competitiveness of domestic products in international markets, by reducing logistics costs.
