QUESTION 1
Introduction
The transportation industry is critical for the global economy as it facilitates the movement of
goods and services. However, the industry faces challenges such as inefficient processes, high
operating costs, and environmental concerns. The adoption of specialised technology and
handling equipment at terminals can help overcome these challenges by increasing efficiency,
reducing costs, and minimizing environmental impact. This essay explores the concept of
economies of density, the challenges of empty return trips, and how handling equipment can
maximise the number of full vehicle load-kilometres per unit of time. Additionally, it examines
the economies of scale and the role of rail transport in achieving operating efficiency.
