Freight Transport for Development -
The resulting toolkit brings together relevant information, research and examples and makes them accessible to potential users by means of a user-friendly website. The information contained in this toolkit is structured using a simply policy analysis framework.
The Energy Efficiency Exchange website (eex.gov.au) supports the implementation of energy efficiency practices within medium and high energy-using companies. It shares best-practice information on energy efficiency, case studies and resource materials from Australia and overseas.
Aims is to develop, disseminate and enhance the utilisation of best practices and innovations in freight transport that contribute to meeting European transport policy objectives with regard to competitiveness and environmental impact.
Best Practise Factory for Freight Transport
The objective of BESTFACT is to develop, disseminate and enhance the utilisation of best practices and innovations in freight transport that contribute to meeting European transport policy objectives with regard to competitiveness and environmental impact
As a provider of transport services, WA Freight Group, has a key focus on reducing carbon emissions and improving energy consumption across its extended transport fleet.
Transport & Environment’s mission is to promote, at EU and global level, a transport policy based on the principles of sustainable development. Transport policy should minimise harmful impacts on the environment and health, maximise efficiency of resources, including energy and land, and guarantee safety and sufficient access for all.

The Sustainable Supply Chain Centre – Asia Pacific (SSCCAP)
The SSCCAP is the collaborative vision of the business community and higher education to develop and implement best practice sustainable supply chain solutions in Asia Pacific.
The Green Freight website aims to improve access to information on policies and programs, technologies and logistics, and data relevant to the freight sector, especially for developing countries. By providing a platform for shippers, carriers, logistics providers, government agencies, practitioners and other stakeholders, we hope to encourage debate, sharing of experiences and establishing collaborations. Information on the Green Freight and Logistics website is compiled through CAI-Asia’s green freight projects funded by the Energy Foundation and the World Bank, and with the support from Cascade Sierra Solutions, US EPA and other partners.
World Bank (Green Freight Demonstration Project)
Guangdong Province launched the Green Freight Demonstration Project today to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions of its truck fleets. The US$ 14 million project is a partnership between the Guangdong Government, World Bank and the Global Environment Facility (GEF). The Trade Fair and workshop were organized by the Guangdong Department of Transport together with the Clean Air Initiative for Asian Cities (CAI-Asia) ，with the support from the Chinese Ministry of Transport, World Bank and GEF.
SLoCaT Partnership on Sustainable Transport (SLoCaT)
The SLoCaT Partnership on Sustainable Transport (SLoCaT) is a multi-stakeholder partnership of over 80 organizations (representing UN organizations, Multilateral and Bilateral development organizations, NGOs and Foundations, Academe and the Business Sector). SLoCaT promotes the integration on sustainable transport in global policies on sustainable development and climate change.
OECD's International Transport Forum
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (OECD) International Transport Forum (ITF) report titled “Moving Freight with Better Trucks: Improving Safety, Productivity and Sustainability", identifies potential improvements in the regulation, enforcement, efficiency and productivity of trucking.
The tooklit can be used to estimate carbon dioxide and air pollutant emissions from fleets, and determine fleet efficiency indicators, such as emissions per ton-km and fuel consumed per ton-km. The tool also evaluates various improvement strategies and technologies ranging from eco-driving, idling reduction, low-rolling resistance tires and emission control devices.
UN-ESCAP Transport Facilitation and Logistics Section
UN-ESCAP Transport Facilitation and Logistics Section seeks to assist member countries in the Asian Pacific region to integrate all modes of transport, adopt effective multimodal and logistics solutions, overcome non-physical bottlenecks, harmonize legal regimes relating to facilitation and strengthen human resources and institutional capacities. UN-ESCAP Expert Group Meeting on Sustainable Transport Development: Eco-efficiency in Freight Transportation and Logistics . Contains presentations by UN-ECSAP, CAI-Asia, country presentations as well as private sector presentations
