The purposes of this research in to minimize environmental burden during delivery of fruit juice product produced by SMEs to their customer.

Numbers of truck that recommend operating are 32 units with total route distance ideally only 3,112.20 Km/week. But normally in consideration to heavy traffics, the route distance are 4,081.45 Km/week. The optimal diesel fuels consumption ideally are 414,96 liter/week and normally including traffic jam will consume diesel fuels are 544,19 liter/week. The Environmental Burden of fruit juice distribution process, represent by CO2 emission from fuels combustion ideally are 1.22-1.32 Ton/week. However, the normally condition with consideration to traffic jam, CO2 emission from fuels combustion are 1.60-1.73 Ton/week.
