Definition & Explanation

Governments and authorities implement decarbonization targets for freight transport through national action plans. These specify concrete measures – such as fleet modernization, modal shift to rail and inland waterways, promotion of electric mobility and biofuels, and improvements in route optimization and logistics efficiency. Freight forwarders and transport operators must integrate these requirements into their operational strategy, for example through vehicle replacement, electrification and emissions reporting.
