One of the ways to reduce the consumption of oil-based liquid fuels and reduce air pollution is to increase the use of so-called nontraditional or alternative energy carriers in road transport. The most promising from this point of view are plant-based fuels.

The paper deals with the mathematical model of the rational distribution of vehicles, which allows attaching them to a group of combine harvesters during harvesting, depending on the carrying capacity of vehicles, the productivity of combine harvesters and the capacity of grain storage facilities. In addition, it presents a formula which allows determining the required number of vehicles that will deliver grain from a group of combine harvesters. Further the article presents calculations of routes of vehicles movement and determination of the required number of vehicles de-pending on the carrying capacity of one of the operating agricultural organizations.
