The branches of economy differ in the amount and characteristics of freight transport services they require and use. Thus, different branches also have different energy efficiencies and carbon dioxide emissions from transport. Previous research has highlighted a serious lack of data inhibiting...

Economic growth has traditionally been linked to road freight transport demand, leading to a steady rise in social and environmental impacts. Concern about this problem has caused the EU to promote a decoupling strategy aimed at boosting sustainable development in European countries by improving...

This paper examines the factors that have influenced the energy intensity of the Spanish road freight transport of heavy goods vehicles over the period 1996–2012. This article aims to contribute to a better understanding of the factors behind the energy intensity change of road freight and...

Purpose – Road freight carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions are determined by a complex interaction between shippers and hauliers within the boundaries set by regulations and economic factors. It is necessary to gain understanding about the various driving forces and trends affecting these to...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to develop a measure that links the causes and consequences of disruptions in freight transport operations. Such a measure is needed to quantify the scale of impact and identify the root causes of disruptions. Design/methodology/approach – In order to...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate empirically how information and communication technologies (ICT) can contribute to reduction of CO 2 emissions in road freight transport and to identify opportunities for further improvements. Design/methodology/approach – This research...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to assess the extent to which the measures outlined in frameworks for guiding CO 2e emissions reduction in road freight transport in the academic literature are actually being realised at a practical level. Design/methodology/approach – A qualitative...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the status quo of environmental management in the Austrian road freight transport sector. Different environmental practices are analyzed and the influence of attitudes and firm size is evaluated. Design/methodology/approach – A multi‐step...

Die bisherige Diskussion bezüglich Straßennutzungsgebühren konzentrierte sich überwiegend auf mögliche Verlagerungseffekte auf andere Verkehrsträger. Eine ver-kehrssteuernde Wirkung im Straßennetz ist durch die kilometer- und typabhängige Entrichtung der Maut vernachlässigt worden. In...
