The use of heterogeneous fleet is then a must. Moreover, the costs of a given route may be very different depending on the sense taken. The site-dependent capacitated vehicle routing problem with heterogeneous fleet and asymmetric costs is solved with the successive approximations method. The solution methodology proposed is tested on a set of benchmark instances. Preliminary tests carried out show the benefits, in terms of total costs, when using a heterogeneous fleet. In both cases, with and without site dependency, the increase in distance-based costs is mitigated by the use of heterogeneous fleet.}, publisher = {Modeling and Simulation in Engineering, Economics and Management}, title = {Planning Freight Delivery Routes in Mountainous Regions}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-319-40506-3_13}, author = {Quintero Araujo, Carlos Leonardo and Pagès Bernaus, Adela and Angel A.
