How can freight transport collaborate with other modes and sectors to achieve low-emission mobility?

由人工智能和领英社区提供技术支持

Freight transport is essential for the economy, but it also contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. How can it collaborate with other modes and sectors to achieve low-emission mobility? In this article, you will learn about some strategies and examples of freight transport innovation that can reduce its environmental impact and improve its efficiency.

1 Intermodal transport

Intermodal transport is the use of two or more modes of transport for a single freight shipment, such as combining rail, road, and maritime transport. This can reduce emissions by shifting freight from high-emission modes like trucks to low-emission modes like trains or ships. Intermodal transport can also save costs, time, and space by using standardized containers and terminals. For example, the European Union supports intermodal transport projects through its TEN-T network and funding programs.

Railroads are the most efficient forms of land freight transportation. The United States has a private railroad system that is the envy of the world boasting the transport of 40% of all long haul transportation. Intermodal hubs in key locations around the country allow transportation domestically and internationally. There are also multimodal transload facilities that will allow the transfer of freight from one form of transportation to another into different containers. Both intermodal and multimodal methods will reduce environmental impact and allow efficient transport of goods over land.

2 Smart logistics

Smart logistics is the application of digital technologies and data analytics to optimize freight transport operations and services. This can reduce emissions by improving route planning, vehicle loading, traffic management, and fuel efficiency. Smart logistics can also enhance customer satisfaction, safety, and transparency by providing real-time information, tracking, and communication. For example, the Smart Freight Centre is a global initiative that promotes smart logistics solutions and standards for freight transport.

3 Green vehicles

Green vehicles are vehicles that use alternative fuels or technologies that reduce emissions and fuel consumption. This can include electric, hybrid, hydrogen, or natural gas vehicles, as well as vehicles that use advanced aerodynamics, lightweight materials, or intelligent systems. Green vehicles can reduce emissions by replacing or retrofitting conventional vehicles that use diesel or gasoline. For example, the International Transport Forum has developed a roadmap for decarbonizing road freight transport by 2050 with green vehicles.

More R&D is required for "green" technologies as its a shift to using different resources and supply chains to construct zero emission cars, trucks, locomotives, boats, and planes. The reduction in pollution is a matter of when the pollution is created and the effectiveness of the new form of energy being used. I.E. A battery powered locomotive currently don't have the range as current diesel-electric powered locomotives. Battery powered locomotives have 7 megawatts worth of stored energy. A Diesel-Electric locomotive has the equivalent of 80 megawatts of electricity if it were converted. An electric locomotive requires significant energy to construct and charge the batteries to maintain the same range.

4 Circular economy

Circular economy is a concept that aims to minimize waste and maximize resource efficiency by designing products and systems that can be reused, repaired, recycled, or regenerated. This can reduce emissions by reducing the demand for raw materials, energy, and transport. Circular economy can also create new business opportunities, value chains, and jobs by transforming waste into resources. For example, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation is a leading organization that advocates for circular economy principles and practices.

5 Stakeholder collaboration

Stakeholder collaboration is the involvement and cooperation of various actors and sectors that have an interest or influence on freight transport, such as shippers, carriers, regulators, customers, or civil society. This can reduce emissions by aligning goals, sharing information, creating incentives, and implementing policies and standards. Stakeholder collaboration can also foster innovation, trust, and accountability by facilitating dialogue, learning, and feedback. For example, the Global Logistics Emissions Council is a multi-stakeholder platform that develops and supports methods and tools for measuring and reducing freight transport emissions.

6 Sustainable urban freight

Sustainable urban freight is the delivery and collection of goods and services in urban areas that minimizes negative impacts on the environment, society, and economy. This can reduce emissions by improving urban planning, infrastructure, and mobility. Sustainable urban freight can also improve livability, accessibility, and equity by reducing congestion, noise, and accidents. For example, the EcoLogistics Community is a network of cities that exchange knowledge and experience on sustainable urban freight solutions.

Consider the experimental technology the railroad is working on. None of the technology is good enough to be main stream as it has many disadvantages and cost.
