An overview of Timber Trucks in Estonia in 2001–2012

Metsaveoautode arvu ja ümarmetsamaterjali transpordi võimekuse kohta Eestis puudub informatsioon. Antud töö eesmärk on uurida Maanteeameti registris olevate metsaveoautode ja metsaveohaagiste arvu aastatel 2001–2012 ning tehnoülevaatuse läbinud metsaveoautode ja -haagiste arvu aastatel 2005–2012. Maanteeametilt saadud andmetest sorteeriti filter-tingimuste kaudu välja järgnev informatsioon: Maanteeameti registris olevate metsaveoautode ja -haagiste arv aastatel 2001–2012; Maanteeameti registris olevate metsaveoautode ja -haagiste vanuseline jagunemine ning jagunemine erinevate maakondade vahel aastatel 2001–2012; Maanteeameti registris tehnoülevaatust omavate metsaveoautode ja -haagiste arv aastatel 2005–2012; Maanteeameti registris tehnoülevaatust omavate metsaveoautode ja -haagiste jagunemine tootmisaasta järgi ning jagunemine erinevate maakondade vahel aastatel 2005–2012. Metsaveoautosid ja metsaveohaagiseid on Maanteeametis arvel rohkem kui neid, millel on tehnoülevaatus. Vene päritolu metsaveoautod on välja vahetatud Skandinaavia päritolu metsaveoautodega, enamlevinud on Scania ja Volvo margiga autod. Üle poole metsaveoautodest on toodetud aastatel 2005–2012. Enim kasutatake metsaveo transpordil kolmeteljelisi täishaagiseid.There is a lack of information on the number of timber trucks and roundwood transportation capability in Estonia. The purpose of this research is to find out the number of timber trucks and timber transport trailers registered in Estonian Road Administration in 2001–2012 and to find out how many timber trucks and timber transport trailers registered in 2005–2012 had passed the vehicle inspection. The following information was sorted out from the data of Estonian Road Administration by using Excel filtering system: the number of timber trucks and timber transport trailers registered in Estonian Road Administration in 2001–2012; the number of timber trucks and timber transport trailers registered in Estonian Road Administration in 2001–2012, sorted by age and counties; the number of timber trucks and timber transport trailers registered in Estonian Road Administration in 2005–2012 that had passed the vehicle inspection; the number of timber trucks and timber transport trailers registered in Estonian Road Administration in 2005–2012 that had passed the vehicle inspection, sorted by the release date and counties. The number of timber trucks and timber transport trailers registered in Estonian Road Administration is higher than the number of timber trucks and timber transport trailers that have passed the the vehicle inspection. Russian timber trucks have been replaced with Scandinavian timber trucks. Most common timber truck brands are Scania and Volvo. More than half of the timber trucks were released in 2005–2012. Mostly three-axle full trailers are used for forest transportation
