Thai government is studying on developing the truck route to cut the logistics cost. From
41 potential routes across the countries, only 5 routes were selected as for the final selection. The
deeper consideration using Transportation Performance Measurement Model (TPMM) with 5 criteria
of econo-logistics, including 1) operation efficiency, 2) accessibility, 3) mobility, 4) quality of life and
5) environmental impact, are used in order to reflect and evaluate the potential benefit of the truck
route development. The result revealed that route Phetchaburi, ie, TR5 of the consideration is the
most beneficial route where it can save cost at the highest rate, increase speed, improve quality of
life and produce the least environmental impact among peers. The result is suggestive that this
route should be selected as for the development of Thai truck route pilot project.
