The choice of vehicle depends on several factors, including the size of your business, the type of products you deliver, the distance you travel and the frequency of your deliveries. Choosing the right vehicle can have a significant impact on your profitability and operational efficiency. Here are some factors to consider when choosing a vehicle for delivery.
Vehicle size is one of the most important factors to consider when choosing a delivery vehicle. If you need to transport large or bulky products, a van or truck may be the best option. If you are delivering smaller, lighter products, a van or passenger vehicle may be more appropriate.
Cargo capacity is also important. If you are delivering products in large quantities, you will need a vehicle with enough cargo capacity to carry your entire inventory. This can be determined by the weight and volume of the products you are transporting.
The 3m³ vehicles are ideal for small businesses or low volume deliveries. They are compact and easy to maneuver, making them ideal for deliveries in cities or densely populated areas. These vehicles can be driven with a class B driver's license.
The 3m³ vehicles can carry about 300-400kg of goods, making them a good option for small loads. They are often equipped with a tailgate for easy loading and unloading of goods. They are also more fuel efficient than larger vehicles, which can help reduce operating costs.
On average, a 3m3 van can accommodate 6 standard size boxes (50x40x35cm) and 2 small boxes (34,5x27x30cm).
The 10m³ vehicles are a good choice for medium-sized companies or companies that need to transport larger volumes of goods. These vehicles can carry approximately 1000 kg of goods, which is three times more than the 3 m³ vehicles.
The 10 m³ vehicles are generally equipped with sliding doors on the side to facilitate the loading and unloading of goods. They can be driven with a category B driving license.
It is quite common to say that a 10 / 12 m³ corresponds in general to the removal of a studio or a small F2, since it is usual to divide by two the surface of the apartment to determine the volume to be moved.
Thus, a 10 / 12 m³ corresponds to a dwelling of about 20-25 m²!
20m³ trucks are used by large delivery companies or companies that need to transport large quantities of goods over long distances. These vehicles can carry approximately 2000 kg of goods, which makes them ideal for heavy loads.
The 20 m³ trucks are often equipped with a tailgate elevator to facilitate the loading and unloading of goods. Please note that a tailgate cannot support a load heavier than 600 kilos.
The 20 m³ van is ideal for moving a surface of 40 to 50 m².
For vans of size 10/12 m³, we usually find these designations. But what do these designations really mean?
Many vehicle brands use these names to differentiate between van sizes:
Thus, L2H2 represents the smallest size (length 2 and height 2 of the vehicle). There are also combinations like L1H2 (length 1 and height 2 of the vehicle).
These names allow to visualize and identify the variants of the same range and the same brand.
Indeed, in addition to the type of vehicle, some factors are also to be taken into account to be able to make the good choice and to save time on your reflection.
The type of driving you do will also affect your choice of vehicle. If you drive in the city, you'll need a compact, maneuverable vehicle that's easy to park and navigate on narrow streets. If you are driving long distances or on country roads, a larger, more rugged vehicle may be necessary.
Operating cost is an important factor to consider when choosing a delivery vehicle. Larger, heavier vehicles tend to use more fuel, which can lead to higher operating costs. Smaller vehicles may be more fuel efficient, but they may not be as effective at carrying large volumes.
Maintenance and repairs are unavoidable costs for any delivery vehicle. Larger, older vehicles tend to require more maintenance and repairs than smaller, newer vehicles. Therefore, it is important to consider these costs when choosing a vehicle.
In conclusion, the choice of delivery vehicle depends on several factors, including the size and weight of the products you transport, the type of driving you do, the cost of operation, and the cost of maintenance and repair. In addition, the choice of delivery vehicle depends on the size of your business, the volume of goods you carry and the distance you travel. The 3 m³ vehicles are compact and easy to maneuver, while the 10 m³ and 20 m³ vehicles are more suitable for larger loads. It's important to consider the characteristics of each vehicle size to choose the one that best suits your business needs. By taking these factors into account, you can choose the vehicle that best suits your company's needs and allows you to deliver your products efficiently and cost-effectively
