Decarbonizing Freight Transport: Acceptance and Policy Implications
This book examines the decarbonization of freight transport, focusing on the acceptance of alternative transportation technologies and the policy implications of transitioning toward more sustainable freight systems. It explores the environmental challenges associated with conventional freight transportation, particularly greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. The book discusses potential strategies for reducing carbon emissions, including the adoption of alternative energy sources, innovative freight transport technologies, and more sustainable logistics practices. Particular attention is given to the acceptance of decarbonization measures among relevant stakeholders and the factors influencing their willingness to adopt new technologies and practices. Furthermore, the book highlights the role of public policy, regulatory frameworks, economic incentives, and stakeholder engagement in facilitating the transition to low-carbon freight transport. By connecting technological developments with behavioral, economic, and policy considerations, the book provides insights into the opportunities and challenges of achieving sustainable freight mobility. It serves as a valuable reference for researchers, policymakers, logistics professionals, transportation planners, and students interested in sustainable transportation, freight logistics, climate change mitigation, and environmental policy.
