“…In addition, private finance can be mobilised through real estate developer charges and fees, property or value capture taxes, loans, green bonds and carbon finance (Ang and Marchal 2013;Bongardt, Creutzig et al 2013). This allows monetisation of the positive externalities of public transport investment and can be particularly important in overcoming funding gaps for infrastructure that supports higher levels of urban density.…”

“…Given the serious challenges of global warming plus the increasing concerns about energy shortage, both the government and stakeholders of freight movement have been intensely exploring methods to reduce energy use and CO 2 distances for innercity delivery as well as the use of alternative fuels and resource collaboration for emissions. Common measures under the ASIF (activity, structure, intensity and factor) model include, for instance, the increased vehicle load factors, which reduce emissions per ton-kilometer [3]. The work of Mckinnon [4] and Tacken et al [5] indicates that the practices to reduce CO 2 generated from road transport sectors can be clustered into the following four main elements: modal split, vehicle fuel efficiency, carbon intensity of fuel used and road freight transport network optimization and consolidation.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate how a smart phone freight application service (Apps) could reduce CO 2 emissions in road freight transport and to identify the core problems for improvements. Methods This research uses a multiple-case-study approach to examine several existing freight apps in the Chinese market. The study was conducted using multiple data collection techniques, including interviews, production observation, firsthand experience, and online-search summaries. Results Inspired by a full analysis of case studies, a hierarchical conceptual framework was developed to provide an overarching view of how existing apps achieve environmental benefits, which deepens our understanding of the interrelationship between freight Apps utilization and CO 2 reduction. Freight apps provide a mechanism that auto-match the consignor's demand and the carrier's supply based on mobile Internet. The efficient way to find the right truck and complete the delivery process enhances the decrease of truck's empty travel distances and improvement of average vehicle loaded, then leading to an improvement of efficiency and a decline in carbon emission in freight industry. And then the identification of returning pick-up and route planning was conducted to further improve apps for CO 2 reduction. Conclusions The influences to freight movement system by apps focused on reconstructing the demand and supply with integration technology, and resulted in a more efficient transaction using matching technology and advanced fleet management with optimization technology. When with inter-urban Full Truck Load, freight apps enable carriers to search for demand for returning a pick-up with decreasing empty running mileages, which then has environmental benefits through reducing CO 2 emissions. However, when in urban Less-thanTruck Load, by strengthening the average vehicle utilization on laden trips, another determinant of route planning of delivery & collection reduced CO 2 emissions. In order to further promote development of apps, in inter-urban Full Truck Load of long-distance transport, sufficient number of users and suitable matching conditions ensured carriers schedule an order to guarantee the return pick-up at an appointed time or grab several orders to achieve a larger non-empty return trip. In this Balways-laden^transport plan, consideration should be given to the carriers' search and waiting costs before starting the next freight service. Meanwhile, route planning of delivery & collection based on real-time traffic information in Less-thanTruck Load required sharing high-level of data, complicatedadaptable models and the efficient computing power. These valuable aspects would be a great challenge for follow-up development of freight apps in aiding CO 2 emission reduction.

“…In this study, we boldly assume that China will gradually reduce passenger vehicles' and taxis' fuel subsidies and will begin to impose a carbon tax of 10% of fuel costs to the road transportation sector from 2015. According to several research results [37], this will cause a 1% decrease in the cargo volume of trucks and an increase in other forms of transportation, including railway transport, as well as a 1.5% growth of fuel economy within a year. In 2020, the effect will lead to a 3% reduction in the vehicle kilometers traveled (VKT), and a 4% improvement in fuel economy.…”

Abstract:In recent years, emissions from the road transportation industry in China have been increasing rapidly. To evaluate the reduction potential of greenhouse gas and pollutant emissions of the industry in China, its emission inventory was calculated and scenario analysis was created for the period between 2012 and 2030 in this paper. Based on the Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning System (LEAP) model, the development of China's road transportation industry in two scenarios (the business-as-usual (BAU) scenario and the comprehensive-mitigation (CM) scenario) was simulated. In the Comprehensive Mitigation scenario, there are nine various measures which include Fuel Economy Standards, Auto Emission Standards, Energy-saving Technology, Tax Policy, Eco-driving, Logistics Informatization, Vehicle Liquidation, Electric Vehicles, and Alternative Fuels. The cumulative energy and emission reductions of these specific measures were evaluated. Our results demonstrate that China's road transportation produced 881 million metric tons of CO 2 and emitted 1420 thousand tons of CO, 2150 thousand tons of NO x , 148 thousand tons of PM 10 , and 745 thousand tons of HC in 2012. The reduction potential is quite large, and road freight transportation is the key mitigation subsector, accounting for 85%-92% of the total emission. For energy conservation and carbon emission mitigation, logistics informatization is the most effective method, potentially reducing 1.80 billion tons of coal equivalent and 3.83 billion tons of CO 2 from 2012 to 2030. In terms of air pollutant emission mitigation, the auto emission standards measure performs best with respect to NO x , PM 10 , and HC emission mitigation, and logistic informatization measure is the best in CO emission reduction. In order to maximize the mitigation potential of China's road transportation industry, the government needs to implement various measures in a timely and strict fashion.
