It depends on the transport means: a 40-foot container holds roughly 25 tonnes or 67 cubic metres; a truck carries 18–25 tonnes depending on type. Understanding exact capacity is crucial for logistics planners to optimize load factors and reduce unit transport costs.","inDefinedTermSet":{"@type":"DefinedTermSet","name":"Frachtportal Logistics Glossary","url":"https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary"},"url":"https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/transport-capacity","inLanguage":"en","dateModified":"2026-06-08T15:40:45.813612","citation":"https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transportkapazit%C3%A4t","markdownMirror":"https://www.freight-academy.com/api/md/glossary/en/transport-capacity","provider":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Frachtportal","url":"https://www.freight-academy.com"},"quickSummary":"Transport capacity · Transport capacity is the maximum quantity—measured in weight, volume, or units—that a vehicle, route, or infrastructure can carry per trip, shift, or time period. · Quelle: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transportkapazit%C3%A4t"}
