Introduction to Logistics Decarbonization

The logistics sector is on the brink of a major transformation, and shippers are in a unique position to lead the shift toward zero-emission transport. To support this transition, Smart Freight Centre Academy has released the “How to Lead the Charge in Logistics Electrification: What You Need to Know" e-book—an essential guide for freight buyers, logistics operators, and sustainability professionals.

This e-book outlines a comprehensive roadmap for electrification readiness, starting with the compelling case for electric trucks. It covers their environmental and social benefits, the changing regulatory landscape, and the strategic influence shippers have in driving market-wide change.

At the heart of the e-book are five key action areas that organizations must address to successfully electrify logistics operations:
  • Vision Alignment: Securing leadership commitment and aligning internal teams.
  • Strategic Learning: Developing shared knowledge and capacity with carriers.
  • Operational Planning: Identifying routes, vehicle types, and infrastructure needs.
  • Financial Preparedness: Understanding total cost of ownership and investment pathways.
  • Environmental Performance Tracking: Integrating emissions metrics into decision-making.
With clear explanations, actionable insights, and a practical self-assessment tool, this e-book empowers organizations to move from ambition to implementation—accelerating the journey toward sustainable, zero-emission logistics.
