A carbon reduction incentive model for crowdsourced urban freight: Facilitating freight pooling and electric truck adoption

Key Points

• Freight pooling and electric truck adoption can enhance urban sustainability, especially through a carbon reduction incentive model.
• This model shows potential reductions in carbon emissions by increasing the use of efficient electric trucks.
• Assessment using urban freight data across multiple cities highlights the viability of the proposed incentive structure.
• The model's impact on urban freight logistics may significantly influence the shift towards greener transportation options.
