“…Some researchers state that suppliers have a responsibility to satisfy customer demand, and that providers need to integrate customers' requirements and expectations in the development of services (Kumar and Kumar, 2004). The product and service development literature also indicates the importance of early customer involvement in the development of sustainable services, and point to the importance for shippers of understanding customers' demands (Coley and Lemon, 2009;Maxwell et al, 2006;Pujari et al, 2003). Bommer et al (2001) even state that activities not driven by customer requirements ought to be eliminated, since these do not create value for customers.…”

PurposeThe interface between Logistics Service Providers (LSPs) and shippers is an area that has received little attention in previous research and even less has been done when environmental issues are added to this interface. Nonetheless, the perception among researchers and the industry is that in many instances, supply and demand in this green interface does not coincide. The purpose of this paper is therefore to identify the matches and gaps between LSPs' green supply and the shippers' green demand. Design/methodology/approachThis paper is based on a web-based survey sent out to Swedish LSPs and shippers. A gap analysis based on mean values and confidence intervals was conducted. FindingsFindings indicate that the LSPs overachieve when it comes to green categories and also that they are aware of this situation. Shippers, on the other hand, are interestingly not aware of this and they seem satisfied with what they perceive is offered by LSPs.

Although LCT was initially conceived for products, it can also fit for services (De Camillis et al, 2008;Graedel, 1997;Petti & Tontodonati 2002;Raggi et al, 2008aRaggi et al, , 2008bRaggi & Petti 2006a;Raggi et al, 2005;Rosenblum et al, 2000).…”

Evaluation Framework for Alternative Fuel Vehicles: Sustainable Development Perspective

et al. 2015

Road transport accounts for 72.06% of total transport CO2, which is considered a cause of climate change. At present, the use of alternative fuels has become a pressing issue and a significant number of automakers and scholars have devoted themselves to the study and subsequent development of alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs). The evaluation of AFVs should consider not only air pollution reduction and fuel efficiency but also AFV sustainability. In general, the field of sustainable development is subdivided into three areas: economic, environmental, and social. On the basis of the sustainable development perspective, this study presents an evaluation framework for AFVs by using the DEMATEL-based analytical network process. The results reveal that the five most important criteria are price, added value, user acceptance, reduction of hazardous substances, and dematerialization. Price is the most important criterion because it can improve the popularity of AFVs and affect other criteria, including user acceptance. Additional, the energy usage criterion is expected to significantly affect the sustainable development of AFVs. These results should be seriously considered by automakers and governments in developing AFVs. OPEN ACCESSSustainability 2015, 7
