Abstract: Selecting the right truck tractor is critical for logistics companies involved in road freight transportation. Determining the criteria that are effective in the selection of truck tractors and then evaluating the alternatives are the main objectives of this study. In this context, a hybrid Multi-Criteria Decision-Making model composed of Fuzzy PIPRECIA (F-PIPRECIA) and Fuzzy COPRAS (F-COPRAS) methods is proposed to be used in the selection of truck tractors. In the related literature, no studies that applied F-PIPRECIA and F-COPRAS together to determine the best truck tractor have been published yet. In this regard, this study is thought to contribute to the literature in terms of the methods used and the application of truck tractor selection. Moreover, the findings of this study will pave the way for those who conduct academic studies and the authorities of companies involved in road transport in the logistics sector.
