The 9th International Workshop on Sustainable Road Freight was held online on 12th-14th December 2022.
There is now a widespread consensus on the urgency of global transition to net zero freight transport systems. However, there is still uncertainty around which competing low carbon propulsion technologies are going to become dominant, and how logistics operations would need to be adapted to facilitate the large-scale adoption of these technologies. In addition, the global environment has become increasingly turbulent with natural and man-made disasters occurring more frequently and with increasing magnitude of impact. Extreme weather events, pandemics, and military conflicts (among other crises) not only pose a significant threat to individual supply chains, but also delay and divert resources from the transition to net zero freight transport systems.
The 9th International Workshop focused on resilient transitions to net zero freight transport systems. Papers were presented on ways to accelerate progress in relation to sustainable road freight in all parts of the world, to help define a robust roadmap to a net zero future.
