Comprehensive Cost-Benefit Analysis Based on the Performance of Drop and Pull Transport

Abstract:

Drop and pull transport is an efficient transportation mode. It brings considerable comprehensive economic benefit for companies, improves the transport efficiency and reduces carbon emissions quantity. In order to evaluate the performance comprehensively, the cost-benefit of environmental indicators are added to establish the comprehensive performance evaluation system of drop and pull transport on the basis of traditional financial evaluation index, the performance evaluation model with time value is also established. The comprehensive cost-benefit of drop and pull transport mode and traditional mode are analyzed by NAV and PVI. Accordingly, the result of the case analysis shows that drop and pull transport brings economic and green effects and has guiding significance to develop drop and pull transport.
