Abstract
This work delves into the intersection of sustainability and logistics, beginning with a case study on Tunis, which highlights the challenges of congestion and emissions in urban freight transport. The study quantifies road freight emissions in Tunis, providing valuable insights into their environmental impact and the urgent need for sustainable alternatives.The chapter then transitions to exploring innovations in sustainable transportation, including electric vehicles, drones, and emerging technologies like intelligent transportation systems (ITS). These innovations are reshaping urban logistics, offering pathways to reduce emissions and enhance efficiency. Further, the chapter examines strategies for reducing the carbon footprint in logistics, such as route optimization, the use of biofuels and renewable energies, and reverse logistics practices. These approaches demonstrate how companies can minimize their environmental impact while maintaining operational effectiveness.
