Road transport in Italy

Road transport represents by far the most widely used shipping method in Italy, moving more than 80% of goods (Eurostat data), while the vehicles most frequently used on the road in the road transport sector are the articulated truck and the road train. Furthermore, the percentage of road freight transport is growing, as highlighted in an analysis by the Observatory on Sustainable Mobility of Airp (Italian Association of Tire Retreaders) based on Eurostat data, which explains that in 2015 in Italy 116,820 million tons of goods per kilometer were transported by road, rising to 133,265 million in 2020, with an increase of 14.1%.

The widespread use of this type of transport is explained
mainly by the possibility of door-to-door delivery,
a characteristic that makes it the best solution compared to all
other means in terms of convenience and the possibility of carrying out
road transport with Full Truck Load or Less Truck
Load (Groupage) formula.

Full Truck Load (FTL)

This is a single-destination transport in which shipments for a single customer are planned that can fill, by weight or volume, the entire transport vehicle with their own goods. In this case, Full Truck Load transport is certainly the most advantageous solution in terms of speed and safety, as it allows loading goods at the sender and unloading them directly at the recipient, without time loss for intermediate transfers or for issuing numerous documents and invoices and reducing the possibility of cargo damage.

Less Than Truckload (LTL) or Groupage

When a single customer’s goods cannot fill a single transport vehicle, Less Than Truckload (LTL) or Groupage is used, i.e. a multi-destination road transport, in which shipments from different customers from a single country are loaded onto a cargo unit with a consolidation operation, to reach different recipients.

The main advantage concerns the cost of transport, which is divided among the various senders, at the expense however of delivery speed and greater movement of goods in the various loading and unloading maneuvers, with risk of damage.

Why choose road transport
Transporting goods by road, as mentioned, has the main advantage of being able to deliver cargo directly to the destination with a door-to-door method, without necessarily having to resort to additional means of transport to reach the arrival point, although it still has advantages and disadvantages.
