The objective of this work was to analyze how the variation traveled distance, operational speed, journey time and net cargo transported influence fuel consumption vehicles in forest road transport. data were collected operation, covering area between regions Campo do Tenente (forest unit) Piên (industrial unit), state Paraná. We analyzed partial elements, loaded trip empty trip, as well total transport cycle (loading, unloading travel). Using same mechanical tractor, two vehicular compositions studied, an articulated vehicle (truck tractor + semitrailer trailer) a conjugated semitrailer). telemetric system used perform collection travel time, speed average both vehicles. results showed that higher occurred trips for longer distances. sensitivity mostly influenced by so it is recommended use less load capacity shorter
