The options are examined from technological and managerial standpoints for all the main freight transport modes.<br><br>Based on an up-to-date review of almost 600 publications and containing new analytical frameworks and research results, <b>Decarbonizing Logistics</b> is the first to provide a global, multi-disciplinary pers
