Evolução da matriz de transportes do Brasil em consonância com as versões do Plano Nacional de Logística e Transportes (PNLT) no período de 2007 a 2022

Abstract

Intermodality represents an approach aimed at optimizing the movement of cargo and people, using different modes of transport in an integrated manner. In the Brazilian context, there is still a significant imbalance in the use of available modes. In this sense, the National Logistics and Transport Plan (PNLT) is a government initiative whose purpose is to promote efficient integration between different modes, with the aim of reducing costs and promoting environmental sustainability. This study aimed to analyze whether the evolution of the transport matrix in Brazil, from 2007 to 2022, is aligned with the PNLT guidelines. The literature review sought to identify the data, causes and factors that contributed to the observed results, as well as the effects of this evolution on the Brazilian transport matrix. From the study carried out, a modest increase in the use of rail and waterways was found, revealing, however, that there is still a long way to go so that the objectives of the PNLT are fully achieved, reiterating, once again, the predominance of road transport in Brazil.
