E-consumers’ role in greening distribution
- 2019
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This paper aims to address the knowledge gap regarding e-consumers’ role in greening distribution by investigating the exchange of distribution related information between consumers, e-tailers and logistics service providers (LSPs). The 40 largest Swedish e-tailers' homepages were visited, and three e-tailers and four LSPs were interviewed. Consumers appear to have limited ability to affect the greening of distribution. Only a few e-tailers offered green distribution on the online purchase. Lack of communication between LSPs and e-tailers, regarding content, direction and frequency was one reason behind the slow development towards greening distribution.

Green distribution options in e-commerce : Display versus content
- 2021
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Purpose: Lately, some e-commerce retailers have started displaying climate labels – i.e., eco-labels focusing on greenhouse gas emissions – on distribution or fulfilment alternatives in the check-out of the online store. Using actual purchase data, the purpose of this research is to understand the impact of climate labelling on customers’ choice of fulfillment.Design/methodology/approach: We analyse six months of customer checkout data from a market-leading pharmacy in Northern Europe using a nested logit formulation.Findings: We find that climate labels have a large and significant impact on the probability that a fulfillment alternative is selected by the customer. Further, if the label is attached to a top alternative, it increases the probability that the alternative is chosen. We also find that preselection has a strong effect on the impact of climate labels.Research limitations/implications:We note that climate labelling seems to have a strong impact on customer behavior, it opens up several venues for further research. For instance, there may be other relevant ways to slice the data to bring additional insights. And as climate labelling from more “well-known” labels are being used in e-commerce, the impact might be different.Research limitations/implications: The results have implications for retailers and logistics service providers alike, by indicating both how the content of the fulfillment option and the display of the option in the check-out impacts the business. The results further underline the importance of coordination between retailers and logistics service providers to provide support to consumers.Original/value: Contrary to previous research into greening e-commerce distribution, this paper takes a quantitative approach to address green consumer preferences.

Ett nödvändigt drivmedel i transformationen mot ellastbilar? : En jämförelse av resursdelning mellan två tekniker
- 2024
-
Ingår i: Transportforum.
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Aktörssamverkan är central för omställning mot en grönare transportsystem, exempelvis vid omställning till eldrift. En organisation i isolering har inte allt det som krävs för en omställning till eldrift, och resurser måste istället delas mellan centrala aktörer såsom fordonstillverkare, infrastrukturhållare och logistikföretag. En aktör har tekniken medan en annan kanske har kunskapen. Beroendet kan vara av olika karaktär och dess omfattning påverkas av exempelvis hur kritisk eller vanlig resursen är. Men på vilket sätt är dessa beroenden centralt vid valet av lösning? Laddning av batterier med sladd är det koncept som vi satsar främst på inom Europa, medan byte av batterier (battery swapping) är den teknik med störst genomslag i exempelvis Kina. Vi har jämfört vilken roll resursdelning har för dessa tekniker.Studien har jämfört resultat från två forskningsprojekt finansierade av Vinnova och Energimyndigheten. Båda projekten har haft arbetspaket som berör samverkan, samtidigt som de fokuserar olika former av tekniska lösningar. Empirin kommer från en strukturerad intervjustudie med 19 svenska logistikaktörer som testat sladdladdning, djupare intervjuer och workshops med olika aktörer från akademi och näringsliv. Empiriska data har analyserats utifrån Resource dependency theory.

Towards building an understanding of electrification of logistics systems - A literature review and a research agenda
- 2024
-
Ingår i: CLEANER LOGISTICS AND SUPPLY CHAIN. - : ELSEVIER. - 2772-3909. ; 10
-
Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- While electrification of freight deliveries has the potential to heavily reduce the sector's negative impact, there is a clear lack of understanding how logistics systems are affected when electric freight vehicles are implemented. The purpose of the paper is to present an overview of the area and identify major gaps in the literature. A systematic literature review was conducted, with an initial sample of 353 papers, finally resulting in 62 papers after several exclusion steps. A descriptive analysis showed that the area is growing fast and that a vast majority of the papers applied mathematical methods with transport data. Further, five categories were deemed of interest in relation to logistics and electrification in the analysed literature: transport operation, charging, cost, actors, and sustainability. Each category is elaborated on and described in the paper. Additionally, the discussion includes several research gaps that the paper proposes need to be addressed to achieve viable electrified logistics systems and the gaps resulted in a research agenda with seven bullet points aiming to guide future research. The research agenda include, how planning of logistics systems is affected when charging is included; how logistics performance is affected when adopting electric trucks, and there is a need to include actors and their perspectives to a larger extent than what is done in the current literature. By highlighting what is missing in the literature, this paper strives to be an important addition to achieve viable electrified logistics systems, which can ultimately lead to a reduction of the freight sector's negative climate impact.

Understanding How Electrification Affects The Logistics System – A Literature Review
- 2022
-
Ingår i: NOFOMA Conference 2022.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose:Electrification of freight transports is an area that is under fast development, and there is a need to capture the current status of the research. The purpose is to create an overview of the area of electrified freight transport and describe how logistical aspects have been taken into consideration in the literatureDesign/methodology/approach: A systematic literature review has been carried out to create the overview and laying the foundation for identification of research gaps. Findings: The results suggest that there has been a lack of focus on qualitative methods, on actors in general, and inclusion of logistical aspects when studying electrification of freight. Research limitations/implications: Based on the overview of the area, a future research agenda has been proposed that highlight different gaps in the current literature. Practical implications: Within the area of electrification of freight transports, the industry and research are evolving simultaneously, and the proposed research agenda can thereby function as a guide for both.Social implications: Electrification is important in reducing the sector’s negative impact on the environment.Original/value: This paper is one of the first to provide an overview of electrification of freight transport with the perspective on the effects on logistics systems.

Business model alignment in supply chain management : A literature review
- 2021
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose: Efficient interaction between actors within supply chains is crucial for their effectiveness. It could be argued that a certain degree of alignment between the different actors’ business model is a prerequisite for the success of interaction. The purpose is to explore how business model alignment between different supply chain actors is described and analysed in the context of Supply Chain Management (SCM).Design/methodology/approach: A systematic literature review on business models in the context of SCM was performed. Based on holistic meta-business model (Kindström, 2005), the findings were analysed with respect to the business model and to the supply chain.Findings: The findings confirm that business models in the context of SCM is a relatively unexplored area, and that the topic has been addressed in a wide variety of journals.In relation to the supply chain, alignment is discussed between buyers and suppliers, between actors in the transport provision chain, between the supply chain and the transport provision chain, and internally. Overall, alignment between buyers and suppliers is confirmed as positive for supply chain performance.Research limitations/implications: The results provide bases for further research into more focused areas within the business model frame. In particular, the connection between transport provision and their suppliers –the automotive industry –is missing in the literature.Original/value: The business model concept is poorly addressed with the perspective of alignment. Research into business model alignment can contribute to literature on strategic SCM.

Roadblocks to Implement Electric Freight Transports : Challenges for Commercial Vehicle Manufacturers and Hauliers
- 2024
-
Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The freight transport industry is crucial for the global economy and a key element of all supply chains and logistics systems. The demand for freight is expected to more than double over the next three decades. Freight transport’s externalities and negative impact on the environment have been highlighted in previous research and reports. At the same time, the latest IPCC (2023) report highlights the urgency to dramatically cut emissions to mitigate the effects on climate change caused by human actions, which also relates to freight transport, which in essence is a result of the design and management of supply chains. A way of reducing GHG emissions from logistics operations is to implement a variety of environmentally friendly strategies, processes, and activities designed to minimize the environmental impact of such operations. Switching to vehicles powered by zero-emission and non-pollutant technology is one of the proposed strategies to reduce the environmental impact of logistics operations. Electromobility is foreseen to become one of the main pathways to decarbonize supply chains and logistics operations. However, the transition to electromobility entails that many actors in the supply chain are affected. Two important actors in the transition are the Commercial Vehicle Manufacturers (CVMs), as technology providers, and the hauliers, as technology adopters. The implementation of Heavy-duty Battery Electric Vehicles (HBEVs) in rod freight transport entails that, as technology providers, and the hauliers, as technology adopters, are exposed to a range of challenges The purpose of the thesis is to describe and explain the challenges of implementing BEVs among Commercial Vehicle Manufacturers (CVMs) and Hauliers. This thesis targets the intersection of electromobility and supply chain management and aims to contribute to the body of research on green logistics by investigating managerial and business-related aspects of the implementation of HBEVs in road freight transports and to shed light on the subject to practitioners outside academia. The research has been performed through literature reviews and case studies. The case studies include interviews, document studies and observations from two commercial vehicle manufacturers (of which one is a main case and one is a reference case), and eight haulier companies. The research reveals that the challenges for both CVMs and hauliers relate to Technology, Finance, Market, Organization and Policy. Further, the challenges take different shape depending on the actor’s perspective, for example, a technology-related challenge for the CVMs such as battery capacity, translates to a technology-related challenge for the hauliers in terms of limited range. Finally, the challenges can be interrelated and might have a reinforcing effect in many cases, which inhibits, even further, the transition to electrified freight transports. For instance, challenges related to technology have a direct impact on operations and finance. The limited range of HBEVs – a technology challenge – results in a less flexible freight vehicle, that requires a more careful planning from the hauliers’ side – operational challenge. The loss of operational flexibility entails that it’s more difficult for the hauliers to accept unplanned transport assignments from transport buyers, which has a direct impact on the haulier’s earning capacity – a financial challenge.
