Resumen
Road freight transport is one of the most important components of logistics and still plays a major role even in the continuously extending global supply chains, which involve several modes for long distance movement of freight. Traditional carbon vehicles and the new environmentally-friendly ones are, in fact, heavily employed in the last and first mile distribution and collection of freight in urban and rural areas. Planning and execution of these operations is made more and more challenging by the congestion of traffic and by the rapid evolution of level of service requirements asking for high personalization and flexibility.
