abstract: In this research , it was presented that how there are different kind of materials which can be transported by commercial vehicle, various category of heavy vehicles, weight segments for carrying distinct product with safety, emission standard for vehicles and numerous challenges faced while transporting the goods. This study focusses on five category material, commercial vehicles, weight, new emission norms and challenges. For analysing this paper descriptive coding was used so that data can easily be divided into these categories. The result shows that for loading and unloading of materials documents, workforce, equipment and safety kit are needed, different type of commercial vehicle is needed for carrying distinct material like liquid in tankers, parcel in container and generic product in trailers, safety measures like plastic covers and straps for open body vehicles, SS tank for chemical products and 
wooden or cardboard sheets in containers, the new norms has improved the engines, vehicles produce less pollution, better safety equipment, only improvement is done but no major changes has been noticed. Finally, the challenges faced in transit are theft, less margin, low infrastructure, harassment and corruption.
