Road freight transportation accounts for around 7% of total world energy-related carbon dioxide emissions. With the appropriate incentives, energy savings and emissions reductions can be achieved by shifting freight to rail or water modes, both of which are far more efficient than road. We briefly introduce five general strategies for decarbonizing freight transportation, and then focus on the literature and data relevant to estimating the global decarbonization potential through modal shift. We compare freight activity (in tonne-km) by mode for every country where data are available. We also describe major intraregional freight corridors, their modal structure, and their infrastructure needs. We find that the current world road and rail modal split is around 60:40. Most countries are experiencing strong growth in road freight and a shift from rail to road. Rail intermodal transportation holds great potential for replacing carbon-intense and fast-growing road freight, but it is essential to have a targeted design of freight systems, particularly in developing countries. Modal shift can be promoted by policies targeting infrastructure investments and internalizing external costs of road freight, but we find that not many countries have such policies in place. We identify research needs for decarbonizing the freight transportation sector both through improvements in the efficiency of individual modes and through new physical and institutional infrastructure that can support modal shift.

“…They stress that, next to other factors, improvements in IT can enhance Europe's sustainability. In the EU-funded project 'SuperGreen', Clausen, Geiger, and Behmer (2012) develop general recommendations (application and infrastructure) regarding which IT technologies can help enable ecological sustainability along multiple freight corridors within the EU. Toh, Nagel, and Oakden (2009) underline the importance of IT as an infrastructure that enables (sustainable) logistics by allowing shifts in freight movement within cities and, therefore, increases environmental sustainability.…”

In supply chain management (SCM), two topics have gained importance over the last years. On the one hand, sustainable SCM (SSCM) has become increasingly relevant and many publications have contributed to the topic. On the other hand, information technology (IT) is being progressively considered as a key enabler for efficiency in supply chains. Several research efforts have contributed to the field of IT for SSCM. However, this paper is the first recent attempt to summarise the current state of the art of how IT can affect SSCM in any structured way and to compare it with IT for 'general' SCM to give guidance for future research. This paper surveys 55 peer-reviewed articles that were retrieved through keyword searches (until May 2014). The analysis identifies research deficits as well as a lack of scientific discourse employing empirical techniques and a lack of investigations on the social sustainability. Additionally, possible topics for further research were derived by comparing the survey's results with the current research on IT for 'general' SCM following the analysis of 631 articles. Six fields could be identified, namely output/effects of IT, machine communication and multiagents, inputs and IT-supported processing, IT-enabled interorganisational exchange, quantitative IT approaches and a sector focus.

“…Apart from the selected priority corridors benchmarking exercise, SuperGreen was also evaluating the bottlenecks along the corridors (SUPERGREEN, 2011b), technological improvement determination (Clausen, Geiger, & Behmer, 2012;, and supply (and or transport) chain strategies and management considerations. The main drawback of rail within the supply chain is it is highly unlikely that rail will serve the first and last mile of the chain and therefore will benefit from improvement of the interchange points that facilitate multi-modality.…”
