A structured interview study targeting LSPs that are operating BEVs has been carried out. Eleven factors deemed as critical were identified in business model components, pointing to a need to take a holistic view when designing business models for electrified freight. Furthermore, four themes are identified that address how characteristics of logistics systems change when BEVs are adopted. This includes changes in uncertainty and complexity. To comply with the increased dynamic, the paper proposes a conceptual framework which captures the evolvement of the critical factors when the market matures by classifying them as constant, fading, adopting, and emerging. The critical factors and their evolvement can be used as guidelines for practitioners and researchers in their development of sustainable business models in the transfer towards electrified freight.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100253,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner Logistics and Supply Chain","volume":"13 ","pages":"Article 100185"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142650985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Technological advancements have made battery-powered construction machines (BPCMs) increasingly viable in operations. However, the high purchase prices of BPCMs represent a huge obstacle for contractors to embrace these low-emission alternatives. To facilitate the sustainable development of the construction industry, it is imperative for the government to implement effective subsidy allocation policies to promote the electrification of construction machinery. This paper proposes a Stackelberg game framework for optimal subsidy allocation. In the proposed framework, the government decides the subsidy amount offered to each type of BPCMs to minimize both pollutant emissions and carbon emissions. The contractors can then observe the government’s decision and make their optimal decisions regarding the purchase, operation, and replacement of construction machines accordingly to minimize their total costs. Contractors’ decisions in turn influence the government’s decision. Such an intricate framework has many appealing properties, which are analyzed in depth to provide useful managerial insights. Additionally, the design of effective subsidy policies by the government depends on a precise prediction of the contractors’ demand for construction machinery. To this end, a random forest machine learning model is developed. Real data were collected for model construction and testing. Statistical results and industrial comments show the high quality of our predictions. Overall, this paper is expected to reduce both pollutant and carbon emissions from construction machinery, thereby facilitating the development of green construction.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100253,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner Logistics and Supply Chain","volume":"13 ","pages":"Article 100180"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142553553","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper introduces an integrated optimization model grounded in green logistics and employs an Improved Particle Swarm Optimization (IPSO) algorithm to efficiently manage the coal supply chain from unloading at ports to loading into generators. The model incorporates new parameters and constraints that not only reflect the operational realities of coal logistics but also emphasize minimizing carbon emissions and energy consumption. Numerical experiments demonstrate the algorithm’s superior performance compared to traditional solvers like Gurobi, particularly in handling large-scale instances.

We propose a framework to manage the resilience of deep-tier automotive supply networks by integrating a simulation-based resilience assessment scheme for effectiveness with an efficient optimization-based framework to find optimal strategies for handling regular disruption events. The framework promotes network analysis techniques combined with discrete-event simulation informed by secondary data sources and global supply risk databases for improving resilience management. We validate the effectiveness of the proposed framework using a real-world global automotive original equipment manufacturer case study. Our results demonstrate that the proposed dynamic framework relying on deep-tier visibility can optimize resilience strategies through all key performance indicators.
