ANÁLISE NOS MODAIS DE TRANSPORTES

Abstract

In recent years, Brazil has not invested heavily in infrastructure, which has been losing space both in the domestic and international markets and also in competitiveness to its other competitors, and there are several modes of cargo transportation available, each with its characteristics, purposes, costs , advantages and disadvantages and consequently some of them are used differently or even together. In this way companies have to adapt to a type of cargo to be transported, evaluated by the versatility demand demands, safety, agility and capacity. That's why the company's logistics sector evaluates and chooses the most convenient way for your company. There are five basic models for the transportation of cargo in our country, they are: air, rail, road, maritime and pipeline, these are the five basic models for cargo transportation in our country. The objective of this article is to show that lately the railroad mode is practically abandoned by the Brazilian government, being scrapped and deteriodated with the time and that could be used more to drain our production to the ports, reporting that this modal is beneficial for our economy, transporting a greater amount of cargo and with lower costs compared to other modes without having great logistical barriers and becoming very useful and raising our GDP. Through an extensive study carried out by bibliographical references and specialized websites on the subject, it is observed that giving more credibility to the railways, greater investments in infrastructure, Brazil can be more competitive in the world market.
