“…According to Breunig et al [31], scheduling and routing of vehicles can contribute significantly to a more sustainable development. This is corroborated by Hauger et al [28], Zhou et al [30] and Laghaei et al [62]. Considering macro area 2 (warehouse practices), it can be seen that it presents the greatest diversity in terms of sustainable practices identified (6 in total).…”

The main purpose of this article is to present an overview of the applications of sustainable practices in logistic operations performed by Brazilian companies. To reach this objective, the following steps were carried out: (1) a review of the literature on logistics systems and sustainability in logistics activities; (2) the collection of sustainability reports published by companies that perform logistics operations, which are recognized in Brazil; (3) a content analysis of the reports collected and (4) a discussion of the results, cross-checked with the literature and the extrapolation of conclusions. It was possible to identify 22 sustainable practices, and these practices were grouped into five macro areas. The authors of this paper believe that the findings presented here can be useful for professionals and researchers in the implementation of sustainability practices in logistics systems.

“…One of the main aspects of a logistics system to be considered is the selection and definition of transportation modal [26,27]. According to Hauger et al [28], this strategy is critical to company success. Moreover, the correct choice of transport modes enables better environmental and economic results [29].…”

“…For this research, quattromodal hubs were therefore defined as "logistics pivots where the four MOT road, rail, waterways and air cargo come together" [16]. Pipelines as transport mode as well as the distinctions between inland and maritime navigation and regular and broad gauge suggested by Kummer [15] are deliberately left out to make the definition more readable and easier to comprehend for non-specialists [17].…”

Purpose: In terms of freight transportation it is essential to pick the most convenient mode(s) of transport (MOT). To get a more flexible system, one can assume that the number of transport options at each hub should be maximized. Therefore, it is investigated how a new hub concept comprising four MOT, a so-called "quattromodal freight hub", can be implemented in the existing transport system from a traffic planning, technological and organizational point of view. Methods: The research incorporates screening existing literature and best practices, conducting stakeholder interviews as well as performing site visits at the best practice areas Hamburg (Germany) and Constanta (Romania). Furthermore, the implementation perspective for a quattromodal freight hub in the city of Vienna (Austria) is examined. Results: The research revealed the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the concept from a theoretical and practical perspective. Four options to create a quattromodal freight hub in the city of Vienna could be identified taking the effects on the overall transport system capacity, arising costs and the legal framework into account. Conclusions: Cost and efficiency related decision criteria are decisive for the implementation of a quattromodal freight hub. An implementation in the city of Vienna is attractive in terms of prestige and unique selling proposition for the region but at the same time requires further research in terms of legal aspects and impacts on the region.
