• W5701195 abstract "This paper will discuss how environmental concerns have influenced the political agenda for a few decades, and the emission of greenhouse gases has particularly obtained increased attention during the few latest years. In contrast to established political goals, the European Environment Agency reported that freight transport in the European Union (EU) member states increased by 35% between 1999 and 2006, and that the market share of road freight transport has increased in the same period. Therefore, a stronger focus on green freight solutions is needed. For the success of political goals, it is crucial how the stakeholders affected by a policy measure behave. Understanding and knowing the status and behavior of the stakeholders improves the ability to design policy measures that may promote desired policy objectives. More specifically, the environmental performance of the freight transport sector is determined by decisions made by the individual stakeholders in the industry. However, the environmental status and behavior of forwarding agents is not widely studied, and is to the author’s knowledge an under-researched area. This paper explores how far the Norwegian freight forwarding industry has reached in its implementation of green transport solutions. In particular, the paper studies to what extent different green transport initiatives are offered by forwarding agents, and to what extent their customers request such initiatives. The paper also analyzes technological development represented by emission standards and use of alternative fuels, and to what extent the freight forwarders utilize trucks using the European Modular System (EMS). One hypothesis explored in the paper is that large companies may perform better in environmental terms than smaller companies do. A second hypothesis is that companies engaged in cross-border activities have a stronger focus on green transport than companies limited to domestic activities. The analysis is based on a three-stage data collection process. First, a set of interviews with companies in Sweden, Denmark and Norway were performed to assist the design of a web survey on transport agreements and green freight transport. The web survey was distributed to the members of the the Norwegian Logistics and Freight Association. More than sixty companies replied to the survey, giving a data set that can be used to shed light on the environmental status of the Norwegian freight transport industry. Finally, additional semi-structured interviews were performed to obtain further explanations and support for conclusions. The results from the survey indicate that the supply of green transport solutions exceeds the demand for such solutions. It is furthermore a clear tendency that results weighted by company turnover yield a stronger focus on green transport, supporting the hypothesis that large companies are more strongly involved in green transport solutions than small companies. The results are compared to studies from other countries where such studies are available. The contribution of the paper is twofold. First, the paper assesses the environmental status of the Norwegian freight forwarding industry. Second, the paper discusses policy implications of the findings, and point at possible policy recommendations from the analysis." @default.
