Brazil Road Freight Transport Market Trends

In 2022, Brazil secured USD 47.27 billion in logistics investment and expanded privatization efforts to bridge infrastructure gap

Brazil's transportation sector encompasses cargo and passenger rail, logistical infrastructure, highways, ports, public transportation, urban mobility, and intelligent transportation systems. The reliance on trucks for cargo transportation makes logistics more costly in Brazil, with approximately 12% of the country's GDP allocated to logistics expenses, a rate 4% higher than that in the United States. This inefficiency can be attributed to the insufficient transportation infrastructure in place.
In 2022, the Government of Brazil (GoB) pursued an extensive privatization effort through a pipeline of concession auctions and regulatory reforms aimed at attracting financing to help narrow Latin America's most significant infrastructure funding gap. The federal government was expected to have secured nearly BRL 250 billion (USD 47.27 billion) in logistics investment by the end of 2022. The rapid growth in occupancy rates of available logistics warehouses, primarily due to increased online shopping during the worst part of the pandemic, continued in 2021.
The Brazilian Government's significant privatization efforts involve concession auctions and regulatory changes to attract financing for addressing Latin America's largest infrastructure funding gap. The Ministry of Infrastructure (MInfra) conducted virtual roadshows to present concession prospects in railways, airports, highways, and ports to foreign audiences. In 2022, government investment of BRL 5.28 billion (equivalent to USD 998.39 million) was allocated to three blocks: Rio de Janeiro - Minas Gerais (7 airports), North Two (7 airports), and Sao Paulo - Mato Grosso do Sul (7 airports).

Due to an abrupt increase in global oil prices, the average gasoline prices increased by 16.3% in Brazil

With increased international prices, an oil producer and refiner Petrobras-based company raised wholesale diesel prices by 24.9%, gasoline prices by 18.8%, and LPG prices by 16.1% in 2022. The primary fuel used to produce food in Brazil is liquefied petroleum gas, which is directly correlated with oil barrel prices.
Due to the increase in oil prices in 2021, gasoline and diesel costs rose throughout Brazil. According to official statistics, fuel costs in Brazil climbed by more than 33% in the same year, resulting in more than 12% annual inflation. Residential gas prices increased by an average of 35%. Under the new law (n. 190/2022), the ICMS manufacturing tax is computed using a fixed number rather than a percentage of the pump price. In communities without access to conventional natural gas distribution networks, the ICMS contributes around 14% of the cost of a liter of diesel or a 13-kilogram LPG tank at the current pump price. The ICMS computation for biodiesel, diesel, gasoline, hydrous ethanol, and LPG would be adjusted. At the end of 2022, the Brazilian government was also expected to reduce or eliminate federal fuel taxes on biodiesel, diesel, and LPG for domestic production and imports.
The Brazilian state oil company Petrobras approved a new fuel pricing policy for gasoline and diesel in May 2023 that sharply lowers costs by 13%. In August 2023, due to an abrupt increase in global oil prices, Petrobras planned to hike average gasoline prices by 16.3% to BRL 2.93 (USD 0.589) per liter, while diesel prices would be raised by an average of 25.8% to BRL 3.80 (USD 0.718).

Keyword	Definition
Cabotage	Road transport by a motor vehicle registered in a country performed on the national territory of another country.
Cross Docking	Cross docking is a logistics procedure where products from a supplier or manufacturing plant are distributed directly to a customer or retail chain with marginal to no handling or storage time. Cross docking takes place in a distribution docking terminal; usually consisting of trucks and dock doors on two (inbound and outbound) sides with minimal storage space. The name ‘cross docking’ explains the process of receiving products through an inbound dock and then transferring them across the dock to the outbound transportation dock.
Cross Trade	International road transport between two different countries performed by a road motor vehicle registered in a third country. A third country is a country other than the country of loading/embarkation and than the country of unloading/disembarkation.
Dangerous Goods	The classes of dangerous goods carried by Road are those defined by the fifteenth revised edition of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, United Nations, Geneva 2007. They include Class 1: Explosives; Class 2: Gases; Class 3: Flammable Liquids; Class 4: Flammable solids- substances liable to spontaneous combustion; substances which, on contact with water, emit flammable gases; Class 5: Oxidizing substances and organic peroxides; Class 6: Toxic and infectious substances; Class 7: Radioactive material and Class 8: Corrosive substances, Class 9: Miscellaneous dangerous substances and articles.
Direct Shipment	Direct shipment is a method of delivering goods from the supplier or the product owner to the customer directly. In most cases, the customer orders the goods from the product owner. This delivery scheme reduces transportation and storage costs, but requires additional planning and administration.
Drayage	A drayage is a form of trucking service that connects the different modes of shipping (intermodal), such as ocean freight or air freight. It’s a short-haul trip that transports goods from one place to another, usually before or after its long-haul shipping process. Drayage trucks move cargo to and from various destinations, such as container ships, storage lots, order fulfillment warehouses, and rail yards. Typically, drayage only transports goods in short distances and operates only in one metropolitan area. It also requires only one trucker in a single shift. But despite this, but it plays an important role in long-haul shipping because it gets the goods to the cargo and vice versa. It makes intermodal transport much more efficient and enables the seamless transfer of goods to the end customer.
Dry van	A dry van is a type of semi-trailer that's fully enclosed to protect shipments from outside elements. Designed to carry palletized, boxed or loose freight, dry vans aren't temperature-controlled (unlike refrigerated “reefer” units) and can't carry oversized shipments (unlike flatbed trailers).
Final Demand	Final demand includes all types of commodities (goods as well as services) consumed as final use and might include personal consumption, or consumption by government, by businesses as capital investment, and as exports. includes all types of commodities (goods as well as services) consumed as final use and might include personal consumption, or consumption by government, by businesses as capital investment, and as exports.
Flatbed Truck	A flatbed truck is a type of truck with rigid design. It has a back body that is flatly shaped for easy loading and unloading of goods. The flatbed truck is mostly used to transport heavy, oversized, wide and indelicate goods such as machinery, building supplies or equipment. Due to the truck open body, the goods transported with it must not be vulnerable to rain. By functionality, the flatbed truck is comparable to a flatbed trailer.
Inbound Logistics	Inbound logistics is the way materials and other goods are brought into a company. This process includes the steps to order, receive, store, transport and manage incoming supplies. Inbound logistics focuses on the supply part of the supply-demand equation.
Intermediate Demand	Intermediate demand includes goods, services, and maintenance and repair construction sold to businesses, excluding capital investment.
International Loaded	Place of loading of goods in reporting country (i.e., country in which the vehicle performing the transport is registered) and place of unloading in a different country.
International Unloaded	Place of unloading of goods in reporting country (i.e., country in which the vehicle performing the transport is registered) and place of loading in a different country.
OOG cargo	Out of Gauge (OOG) cargo is any cargo that can not be loaded into six-sided shipping containers simply because it is too large. The term is a very loose classification of all cargo with dimensions beyond the maximum 40HC container dimensions. That is a length beyond 12.05 meters – a width beyond 2.33 meters – or a height beyond 2.59 meters.
Pallets	Raised platform, intended to facilitate the lifting and stacking of goods.
Part load	A part load describes goods which only fills a truck partially. In essence, the quantity of the shipment is bigger than the Less Than Truckload (LTL) shipment. Also, the shipment cannot fully occupy a truck i.e. its capacity is much lower than a Full Truckload (FTL) shipment.
Paved Road	Road surfaced with crushed stone (macadam) with hydrocarbon binder or bituminized agents, with concrete or with cobblestone.
Reverse Logistics	Reverse logistics comprises of the sector of supply chains that process anything returning inwards through the supply chain or traveling ‘backward’ through the supply chain.
Road Freight Transport Service	Hiring a trucking agency for transport of commodities (raw materials or manufactured goods including both solids and liquids) form the origin to a destination within the country (domestic) or cross-border (international) constitutes road freight transport market. The service might be Full-Truck-Load or Less than-Truck-Load, containerized or non-containerized, temperature controlled or non temperature controlled, short haul or long haul.
Tautliner vehicle	Tautliner and curtainsider are used as generic names for curtain sided trucks/trailers. The curtains are permanently fixed to a runner at the top and detachable rails/poles at front and rear, allowing the curtains to be drawn open and forklifts used all along the sides for easy and efficient loading and unloading. When closed for travel, vertical load restraint straps are attached to a rope rail beneath the truck bed, connecting the truck bed and curtain along both sides. Winches at either end of the curtain tension it, hence the 'Tautliner' name. This stops the curtain from flapping or drumming in the wind and can also help retain light loads from slipping sideways.
Transport for hire or reward	The carriage for remuneration of goods.
Unpaved Road	Road with a stabilized base not surfaced with crushed stone, hydrocarbon binder or bituminized agents, concrete or cobblestone.
