In our research, we study several different technical solutions. But we don't focus exclusively on the technology – we also look at its effects on the system as a whole. We analyse technological change in several different ways: how new fuels and digitalisation affect transportation systems; how we can enable increased use of more sustainable transportation via train and boat; and how the physical design of load carriers – such as the aerodynamics of trucks and trailers – affect costs, logistics planning, working environment and transport emissions.
Technological transitions in sustainable logistics is one of our eight research areas in climate smart transport systems.
