The freight transport sector is a low profit and high competition business and therefore has less ability to invest in research and development in the field of autonomous vehicles (AV) than the private car industry. There are already different levels of automation technologies in the transport ...
Emission efficiency ranged from 0.8tonne-km to 26tonne-km for 1kg CO 2 emissions. The results show potential for improvements given a low level of vehicle usage and load factor levels, scarce use of lightweight vehicle design, poorly selected vehicles and a high proportion of empty runs. IT-...
The long-term mobility trends in freight transport point clearly in the direction of autonomous driving, enabling even more energy efficiency and sustainable mobility. Even if fully automated driving still has challenges to overcome such as security and regulatory issues, self-driving vehicles are alrea...

This paper discusses a central aspect of freight transportation - capacity utilization and empty running of commercial freight vehicles. It provides an overview of the literature on these topics and groups the contributions into two segments according to their analytical approach and origin of research....
Purpose of this paperThe purpose of this paper is to present a methodology for measuring resource efficiency in road-based freight transport based on filling rate and resource utilisation of vehicles and load units for general cargo handled in a terminal network.The proposed methodology is based on...
BEIJING, June 24 (Xinhua) -- China-Europe freight train services saw solid growth from January to May this year, with the transport capacity and efficiency continuously rising. The number of China-Europe freight train services increased by 16 percent year on year to 7,126 trips in the first...
Some vehicles are even directly derived from passenger trains. The market for high-speed rail freight is certainly small as far as volume is considered. It offers however a high specific revenue-potential and it is also a fast-growing market. In order to develop high-speed rail freight it ...
In July 2021, the Federal Republic of Germany became the first country ever to pass a law on autonomous driving. This regulates and generally permits the use of autonomous vehicles (Level 4) in defined operational areas, such as traffic between logistics terminals. A technical supervisor must ...
Along with the network expansion, the China-Europe freight train service has also experienced impressive enhancement in transport capacity, efficiency, and service quality. "To ensure the smooth operation of the trains, we have maintained timely communication with export enterprises and enhanced the appl...
