The worldwide movement of freight has emerged as one of the most
critical and dynamic aspects of the transport sector. The
contributors to this study examine the current state of global
freight transport, with an emphasis on Europe and North America and
their extra-regional linkages. These original contributions
synthesize existing knowledge, highlight new developments, problems
and possible solutions, and underscore the need for further
research. The book's starting point is the fact that freight
transport is the main element supporting global supply and
commodity chains, from the transformation of raw materials to
market distribution and after-market services. However, as the
authors point out, the rising costs associated with security and
various other constraints, as well as the complexity of getting
goods delivered, is adding to profit pressures faced by
manufacturers around the globe. Despite the application of
technology and increasingly efficient solutions to the movement of
freight, constraint points and conditions obstructing smooth
operations and sustainability have developed. These difficulties
affect both the environment and economic growth. Examining the
issues from four critical perspectives - intermodality, e-commerce
and technology, logistics, and sustainability - Globalized Freight
Transport captures the concern for the viability of freight systems
and the ways they are impacting the global economy. This
cutting-edge study will be of great interest to students and
scholars of transportation, as well as to public sector
policymakers and private sector managers.
