Dynamic pricing is becoming an important tool for improving efficiency in road freight logistics. In Uzbekistan, this approach is especially relevant because road transport carries the dominant share of cargo, while transport policy increasingly emphasizes digitalization, cost optimization, and faster delivery. In 2025, road transport carried 1,434.5 million tons of freight, and official statistics reported that the consumer price index for vehicle fuels and lubricants reached 115.4 percent in January–September 2025. This article examines how freight pricing can be formed more accurately through the combined use of fuel, distance, and demand indicators. It argues that digital logistics platforms can support more transparent and adaptive price formation, reduce operational uncertainty, and improve decision-making in the Uzbek freight market.
