BACKGROUND

3. BACKGROUND

4. Delivery drivers are facing an increasingly
pressured work environment, with low
employment security and a direct or
indirect pressure to work unreasonably
long hours and on a per-delivery pay
structure
Workers in the transport
sector
Traffic noises:
Road traffic
Rail transport
Transport infrastructure projects (road
construction, airport expansions, new
train lines, etc.)
Lead to restrictions of operating hours, for
example restrictions on night flights
Noise
Impact of freight transport
Road freight transport vehicles share
roads and motorways with common road
traffic, cyclists, and pedestrians and are
therefore more at risk of being involved in
accidents

Factors to consider when choosing the transport mode
The availability and quality of
infrastructure, vehicles, and logistics
service providers
regulations towards transport and the
price for transport
Operational factors
Depending on customer requirements
Logistics strategies
Cost and service requirements
The value density and weight density
Perishable products (banana, flowers)
Hazardous goods
Product characteristics
The loading factor (or utilization) for a
transport mode
The carbon emissions of transport modes
depending on the type of fuel and engine
that is used
Consignment factors

9. The move to alternative transport modes:
Optimize the use of water and rail transport
to apply multi-modal solutions
prepare the design of intermodal solutions (special
cranes and ramps, and inland ports are built to
connect waterway barges to the road and rail
network)
Change of transport mode

10. BENEFITS OF LOCAL SOURCING:
Investment in the local community, employment, skills, etc (plus
reputational and brand benefits)
Accessibility for supplier development and contract management
(eg site visits)
Supplier knowledge of the local market, sustainability issues,
regulatory standards, etc.
Reduced transport, payment, cultural risks, and costs
Short supply chain eg supporting JIT, fewer environmental
impacts of transport.
Avoids ‘evils’ of globalization. Public sector: may not offer ‘value
for money’

After the choice of
transport mode and
the choice of fuel,
freight transport’s
emissions can also
be reduced through
operational
optimization,
improvements in the
network design, and
further technology
that can support
these improvements.

Vehicle design improvements (to avoid underutilization)

emissions

14. optimize the routing, scheduling and loading of vehicles
and online platforms make it easier to find backloading
opportunities.
Real-time routing to consider and avoid motorway
congestion and traffic accidents
monitoring vehicles and driver behaviour
Information technology
Strategies to reduce environmental impact
of freight transport

15. Strategies to reduce environmental
impact of freight transport
Insufficient capacity in the infrastructure
automatically leads to congestion.
to shift to the use of low-emission vehicles
Shifting freight transport to off-peak times
the use of consolidation centres for city
centre locations
Infrastructure

16. Wider aspects of sustainability
in freight transport

17. Hybrid trucks
Streetscooter is a replacement of conventional
motor scoter that developed by DHL. The mileage
of the streetscooter reaches 200 km depend on
the load
DHL Streetscooter
Diesel-hybrid trucks can charge their batteries via
overhead lines in both directions
