On Thursday 30th November and Friday 1st December, The Centre for Sustainable Road Freight (CSRF) will be holding the 4th International Workshop on Sustainable Road Freight in Cambridge.
Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from road freight transport represents a significant challenge with multiple technical, operational and political aspects. Designing, testing and implementation of effective interventions (managerial or technical), and appropriate policy measures need multi-disciplinary, multi-country research.
The Centre for Sustainable Road Freight would like to invite academics and practitioners from all related fields to take part in a debate of these issues – to shape the research agenda and to network with key research groups from around the world.
The workshop will focus on building links between academic research and practice with an aim to deliver world-class solutions to address the sustainable road freight transport challenge. Our ambition is to create an international network of practitioners and researchers working on all aspects of sustainable road freight transport, and to facilitate collaborative research amongst the specialists in the field.
We invite presentations on ways to improve the sustainability of road freight transport, including, but not limited to:
- Vehicle, logistics and infrastructure solutions to decarbonise road freight transport
- Alternative fuels for road freight transport
- International perspectives and local green freight initiatives
- Roadmaps to reduce GHG emissions from freight transport
- Corporate GHG reduction targets, environmental policy design and execution
- Role of data and ITC in sustainable freight transport systems
