The CTR Seminar Series welcomes Dr Maja Piecyk, Associate Professor in Logistics at Heriot-Watt University.
Innovation in Logistics: Current and Future Developments
Road is the dominant freight transport mode in the UK, and is the second largest source (after cars) of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the transport sector. If significant GHG emission reductions are to be achieved, breakthrough innovations and significant improvements in the efficiency of logistics systems will be needed. This seminar reviews current research on sustainable road freight transport, and presents the concept of the Physical Internet as a model for radically transforming logistics systems in the twenty-first century.
