Green transport solutions in a medium-sized courier company

This paper produces an analysis of the Latvia-based courier delivery company DPD Latvija to determine its possibilities and evaluate sustainable solutions that it has implemented already. The obtained results are used to select suitable green transport solutions using multi-criteria decision making and cost-benefit analysis methods and to develop appropriate recommendations that help to improve the sustainable solutions already used in the company or to introduce new ones.The main green transport solutions covered by the research are the most impactful ones and include switching to electric vehicles, usage of alternative fuels such as CNG, biodiesel and hydrogen cell, and an innovative model of crowdshipping. There are several more solutions covered in the research that can be used to increase a company's contribution to decarbonization.The resulting framework or action plan, can help the company make best investments in implementing green transportation solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and potentially attract new customers. The added value of the work is the opportunity for another Latvian medium-sized courier company to use the proposed framework as a basis for creating its own plan.
