Transport Systems in Tycoon Online

Truck

Good starter truck, but too small for busy long-term routes.

With a capacity of 80 units, this truck is best suited for short feeder routes, early-game operations, or smaller locations with limited demand.

It works well as a starter vehicle because it can handle basic hauling needs efficiently without requiring a major investment. However, its lower capacity makes it less effective for primary hauling duties.

As demand grows and routes become busier, it can quickly fall behind, making it a weaker choice for long-term mainline transport.

Trailer

Solid mid-tier trailer with better capacity for growing, moderate-demand routes.

With a capacity of 120 units, this trailer is a good mid-tier transport option and a clear step up from a basic truck.

It offers better hauling potential, making it more suitable for routes with moderate demand where a small vehicle may no longer be enough.

This makes it a practical upgrade for expanding operations, especially when you need improved capacity without moving to larger or more expensive transport options right away.

Train

Best high-capacity train for busy core routes and large-scale freight.

A capacity of 320 units, this train should serve as the backbone of your network for moving heavy cargo between major production and demand centers.

It offers the strongest raw hauling capacity among your options, making it the most efficient choice for busy, high-volume routes where cargo needs to move consistently and in large quantities. This is the vehicle you want on your core lines, especially between major points that generate steady demand over time.

As long as the route stays active and well supplied, the train delivers the best overall performance and remains the most reliable option for large-scale freight movement.

Airplane

Fast long-range transport, but lower capacity makes it secondary.

With a capacity of 160 units, this airplane is best used on long-distance routes or in situations where delivery speed matters more than maximum hauling volume.

It is a strong option for covering large distances quickly, making it especially useful for time-sensitive routes or locations that are too far apart for slower transport to remain efficient.

That said, while it offers solid performance and flexibility, it still only carries half the capacity of a 320-unit train. Because of that, it works better as a secondary option rather than the main backbone of a heavy cargo network.

A simple rule:

• low demand → truck

• medium demand → trailer

• long route / faster delivery → airplane

• high demand / best volume → train

 For a beginner:

1. Start with truck or trailer

2. Upgrade to airplane for long profitable routes

3. Move to train when you find a route that can regularly support high volume

Based on those numbers alone, my default priority would be:

 train > airplane > trailer > truck

GASOLINE

Vehicles need gasoline funds daily, or they stop working completely.

Gasoline is also the fuel for your fleet. Vehicles refuel from a separate gasoline account, so you need to deposit money into that account and check it daily to keep the company’s tools or vehicles running. If the account does not have enough money, the vehicle stops working until it can be refueled.

Main takeaway:

Use small vehicles to start, planes for speed and distance, and trains for heavy long-term profit. Always monitor your gasoline account so your fleet keeps running.
