| Abstract This research paper explores the impact of fleet diversity on operating costs and environmental sustainability in the transportation sector , with a case study of a beverage production company in Egypt. The study considers the optimal distribution of the company's transportation fleets , comparing scenarios with diverse fleet sizes and types to a scenario with a single type of fleet. The objective is to highlight fleet diversification's significance in reducing operating costs and CO2 emissions . The study employs Lingo Code to obtain optimal solutions for the transportation problem, revealing a 36.93% reduction in fuel consumption costs and a 39 % decrease in carbon dioxide emissions when using diverse fleets . These findings provide valuable insights and recommendations for the beverage production industry and beyond, aiming to achieve a more sustainable and efficient transportation system .
