Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine how road infrastructure, fuel prices, and logistics fleets impact distribution costs at PT Kereta Api Logistik from 2019 to 2024. This study uses a quantitative descriptive and verification approach and utilizes secondary data from company reports and official data providers. Analysis is conducted to show how each variable develops and test its relationship with the model that has been built. The results show that although the three independent variables have a significant impact when tested partially, they do not have a significant impact when tested simultaneously. The results indicate that the trend of business distribution costs is more influenced by a combination of external and internal factors simultaneously rather than the influence of only one variable. The study suggests that an integrated approach to managing distribution costs should utilize the fleet, optimize the service network, and adapt to changes in the operational environment. In addition, this study provides a theoretical contribution on how the relationship between environmental factors and operational strategies is crucial to determining how efficient distribution costs are for multimodal logistics organizations
