PENABAD-SANZ, Laksmi; IZNAGA-BENITEZ, Arsenio Miguel  e  RODRIGUEZ-RAMOS, Pedro Antonio. Limited value for the indicator: use of freight trucks. Ing. Ind. [online]. 2018, vol.39, n.3, pp. 291-302. ISSN 1815-5936.

The exploitation use of vehicles is influenced by several factors implying down time days, which affects the economic results of fleet operation. If these factors grow beyond acceptable levels, it shows a situation required of decision-making. That is the reason for a mathematical expression to determine the limiting exploitation value of freight motor vehicles, based on a balance between working benefits and down time economic effects. The relation obtained is simple and easy to use by freight fleets operators. The applicability was confirmed by its use in a Cuban company. The concordance between the applied model and the actual economic evaluation is almost perfect.
