Over the past years, with success of movies like “An inconvenient truth” from AL Gore or “Home” from Yann Arthus Bertrand, we have seen a growing commitment to reduce greenhouse gaz emissions (GHG). With the transport sector accounting for more than 13% of CO2 emission worldwide (IPCC2007i) and with road freight transport as the major and growing portion, there is a real focus of policy-makers and citizens-customers who are demanding for more information and regulation. We can observe here and there a global consensus on how to mitigate the GHG: from “hard” regulations like the road user charging systemsii, via disclosure of “carbon footprintiii” to more voluntary solutions like fuel monitoring. In one word, there is a need for more environmental-aware supply chains requiring the use of smart and innovative solutions.
