T-1B1a-TE-7 - Route optimisation for light trucks
Background¶
IPCC WG3 definition: M-1A-8 - Supply Chain Management.
Route optimisation, for instance through mixed loading and joint distribution centers, reduces the distance needed for a truck to reach the end destination.
Sustainability Category: Amber¶
This transition element has only moderate climate impact but may be necessary for maintaining urban needs, with a clear pathway to decarbonization. While not aligned with net-zero targets, this transition element is actively improving the emissions profile and represents intermediate performance on the path to sustainability.
