本論文は、欧州、中国、北米の3地域における道路貨物輸送の脱炭素化目標と実践を比較分析。文献レビュー、二次データ、一次調査を通じて、欧州は規制主導で電化・複合一貫輸送が進む一方インフラ不足、中国は電化・デジタル化が急速に進むが地域間格差、北米は規制は遅いが業界主導の効率化・代替燃料が進んでいることを示した。課題はコスト・サービス信頼性・インフラ整備であり、協調とデジタル透明性が鍵と結論付けている。
English
This paper compares road freight decarbonisation across Europe, China, and North America using literature review, secondary data, and a survey. Europe is regulation-driven with electrification and intermodal progress but infrastructure gaps; China shows rapid electrification and digital platforms but regional disparities; North America has slower regulation but strong industry-led efficiency and alternative fuel initiatives. Key challenges are cost, service reliability, and infrastructure readiness, while collaboration and digital transparency are critical enablers.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本の貨物輸送（物流）分野はGX計画やカーボンニュートラルポート等が進むが、欧州・中国・北米の比較から得られる知見（電化・デジタル化・規制の役割）は日本の政策立案や企業調達戦略に直接応用可能。特に、地域間格差やコスト課題の克服方法は参考になる。
In the global GX context
This paper offers a rare three-region comparison of freight decarbonisation, relevant for global supply chain sustainability and climate policy. It highlights common drivers (technology, collaboration, aligned regulation) despite different regional pathways, providing evidence for international frameworks like the IMO's GHG strategy or the GLEC framework. For global practitioners, the survey results on cost and infrastructure challenges are actionable.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Provides a structured comparison of regional decarbonization pathways and a survey-based empirical contribution to freight sustainability literature.
🏢実務担当者:Offers insights for procurement and logistics managers on key challenges (cost, reliability, infrastructure) and enablers (collaboration, digital tools) to inform sustainable sourcing strategies.
🏛政策担当者:Highlights the importance of aligning regulation with industry needs and infrastructure investment to accelerate freight decarbonisation, with concrete lessons from three regions.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Freight transportation is one of the most important contributors to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This study analyzes and compares how sustainability targets and practices are being implemented in road freight across three key regions: Europe, China, and North America. The aim is to evaluate the challenges, opportunities, and lessons learnt. Multiple approaches were applied: (1) a comprehensive literature review of sustainability regulations and technological trends; (2) secondary data collection from sustainability reports in the automotive industry; and (3) a primary survey distributed to international forwarders and service providers. The results indicate that Europe is mainly driven by regulatory decarbonization with strong commitments to electrification and intermodal freight, though infrastructure gaps remain. China demonstrates fast and strong progress in electrification and digital logistics platforms but faces challenges in implementation across regions. North America shows slower regulatory adoption but strong industry-driven initiatives in efficiency and alternative fuels. Results from the questionnaire indicate that cost pressures, service reliability, and infrastructure readiness are the most well-known challenges, while collaboration and digital transparency tools are seen as key points toward sustainability.The study outlines a potential strategic route that can give direction to political decision-makers and to industry leaders for creating strong procurement strategies and a stable base for creating and implementing sustainable solutions within the local and global supply chains. It is confirmed within the study that even though each region takes a different path, the key drivers of success are similar: using new technologies, working together across industries, and keeping government rules in line with market needs.
