1. Efficient Route Planning: Green logistics helps to plan optimal routes for transportation, which helps to reduce travel time, distance, and fuel consumption.
2. Retrofitting of Vehicles: Retrofitting of old vehicles with new technology can help to improve their fuel efficiency and reduce emissions.
3. Direct Delivery: Green logistics promotes direct delivery, which eliminates the need for intermediate stops and reduces delivery time and fuel consumption.
4. Intermodal Transport: Intermodal transport involves the use of different modes of transport such as rail, sea, and road, which helps to reduce the carbon footprint of the transportation system.
5. Use of Sustainable Fuels: The use of alternative fuels such as biofuels, hybrid engines, and electric vehicles can significantly reduce the carbon emissions generated from the transportation infrastructure.
6. Optimization of Packaging: Green logistics promotes smart packaging that reduces the size and weight of packages, which subsequently reduces the fuel consumption required to transport them.
7. Information Management: Efficient management of information by using advanced technologies such as GPS tracking, real-time inventory management, and automated warehouse management reduces delivery time and saves on fuel costs.
8. Reverse Logistics: Green logistics encourages the return and reuse of materials and products, which significantly reduces waste and carbon emissions.
