Many companies are now switching to rail networks for their delivery needs meaning they may save on the cost of their van insurance if the vehicles are not being used as often.
According to Datamonitor, a shift in demand for premium, next-day delivery services meaning faster transportation is required.
This is coupled with an increasingly volatile oil market which is concerning some managers.
"This has given rise to more worry than anything for business customers, especially those that are not able to judge what would be the agreed and what the extra price would increase to," Mudit Gupta, automotive and transportation logistics project manager at Datamonitor, said.
"This would be the main reason to shift from road and air to rail," she added.
