operations within a ‘green logistics’ framework. This framework focuses attention on five key parameters: freight modal split, supply chain structure (i.e. num-ber and length of links in the supply chain), vehicle utilisation, energy efficiency and the carbon intensity of the energy source. Opportunities for altering each
