5. 3. Management of the procurement of transport services to reduce CO2 emissions

   Author : Javad Ghaneimoghaddam; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Logistics; Transport performance; Transport provider; Shipper; Climate; Transport procurement; CO2 emissions;

   Abstract : It is important for shippers to purposefully manage the procurement of transport services internally (inward) and in relation to their transport providers and customers (outward) to reduce CO2 emissions. Further, contextual factors’ influence on the procurement of transport services needs to be understood to reduce CO2 emissions. READ MORE

6. 4. Efficient food logistics to reduce the climate impact of transportation: A shipper’s perspective

   Author : Kristina Liljestrand; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; food characteristics; shipper; context; product flow; food logistics; climate impact of transportation;

   Abstract : Transportation activities are often highlighted for their climate impact, and one industry that has a significant impact is the food industry. However, reducing the climate impact of transporting food products can be difficult due to the various characteristics of such products, for example temperature regime. READ MORE

7. 5. Environmental concerns when purchasing freight transport

   Author : Sara Rogerson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Load factor; Freight transport; Coordination; Shipper; Green logistics; Purchasing process;

   Abstract : Companies that purchase freight transport (shippers) influence the conditions for how transport providers can execute the transport, which in turn influences CO2 emissions. The conditions can be influenced both by shippers’ purchasing processes for freight transport and when shippers prepare goods for delivery. READ MORE
