Toward greener freight: Overview of inland waterway transportation in the United States
Freight
Global freight activity is on track to quadruple by 2050. That makes the total freight transit system an important target for overhaul as heavy-duty vehicles account for disproportionate shares of fuel consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and air pollution. Technological advances alone won’t do the job, so the ICCT’s Green Freight program takes a systems approach that includes advanced technologies and measures to shift freight to the most sustainable modes while optimizing supply chains.
