Impacto do arla 32 nos custos de transportes de carga rodoviárias: estudo de caso com base em análise de investimento

Abstract

The aim of this work was to evaluate the financial impactof Arla32 in the road freight cost. With the increasing number of trucks and consequently increasing air pollution, PROCONVE standards,Stage 7 (heavy duty vehicles - diesel), come to promote new technologies to combat emissions. Thus, the SCR technology uses the Arla32 anti-pollutant and corresponds to a urea solution 32.5% high purity diluted with demineralized water which aims to reduce the emission of nitrogen oxides. In the economic and financial perspective it is essential to determine or estimate the cost of this anti-pollutant increase in road freight transport. To achieve the objectives of this research has two case studies, the first was made a survey of the main road transport costs and these costs to build a map to determine the impact of Arla32. In the second study we observed other anti-pollutant cost technologies. The impact of Arla32 in transportation costs is small, about 1.40%, but assessing this as cash and considering a fleet of over 20 trucks the value becomes representative for the use of anti-pollutant. The Investment analysis showed that both alternatives have good financial viabilityand must be implemented.
