[All L3M5 Questions]

Approximately what percentage of costs, of running heavy goods vehicles (HGVs), is accounted for by fuel costs?

A33%

B20%

C51%

D7%

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

The correct answer is roughly one-third, or 33%.

This means that fuel costs are very important to road haulage firms, and alternative means of either transportation or power for trucks would be desirable, both to reduce costs and to aid the environ-ment.

Using your learning and your experience, what do you think the other main costs are of running a heavy goods vehicle fleet? I'll leave you to come up with some of the key areas yourself.

Hmm, I'd say C. 51% sounds about right, considering how much those trucks guzzle down.
