  7. 5. Energy efficiency improvements in logistics as a means to environmental sustainability: The case of capacity utilisation in road freight transportation

    Author : Jessica Wehner; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Capacity utilisation; household logistics capability; system levels; distribution structure; logistics system; energy efficiency; last-mile fulfilment; overcapacity; system boundaries; road freight transportation;

    Abstract : The energy consumption in logistics, and especially in road freight transportation, is steadily increasing and with that the greenhouse gas emissions which have a negative impact on the environment. In order to improve environmental sustainability of logistics, a change in the actors’ behaviour and policies is needed since the development of technology alone is not sufficient. READ MORE
