In 2022, the transportation industry, particularly trucking, faced unprecedented operational cost increases, with per-kilometer costs exceeding $1.24. This trend, driven by escalating fuel prices and other operational expenses, has catalyzed a shift towards efficiency-focused strategies. In Vietnam, the implementation of technology-driven cost-saving strategies is currently underway and was the focal point of the recent hybrid workshop "FLEET FUTURES – Cutting-Edge Cost Reduction in Transportation".
