Measuring and Reporting the Carbon Footprint of Electric Freight Vehicle Operations: Whitepaper
This Whitepaper addresses the critical aspect of measuring and reporting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from electric vehicles in logistics. As the adoption of electric freight vehicles gains momentum, particularly in the US and the EU, understanding and accurately accounting for their carbon footprint is crucial. This Whitepaper provides essential guidance for logistics professionals, offering nuanced insights into lifecycle emissions calculation, specifically tailored to electric vehicles and electricity usage. This resource acts as a valuable supplement to the ISO 14083 and the GLEC Framework.
Cloud Report VII: Monitoring and Implementing Efficient and Zero-Emission Freight Transport
In order to optimise European investments in R&I projects in the field of transport and logistics, BOOSTLOG carries out a thorough evaluation process of concluded Research and Innovation (R&I) projects financed with EU-funds. This evaluation is conducted from the perspective of different key domains of transport and logistics (T&L), (defined by BOOSTLOG as “Logistics clouds”) to identify R&I gaps in T&L and prioritise the needs to be addressed in future research programmes, thus contributing to develop an innovation ecosystem for the logistics sector that also contributes to the EU policy objectives.
