This article considers the heterogeneous fleet vehicle routing problem, as a variant of a well-known transportation problem: the vehicle routing problem. In order to solve this particular routing problem, a variable neighborhood search with a threshold accepting mechanism is developed and implemented. The performance of the algorithm was compared to other algorithms and tested on datasets from the available literature. Computational results show that our proposed algorithm is competitive and generates new best solutions.
