An assessment of the potential for demand-side fuel savings in the Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) sector
Report

Phil Greening, Piecyk, M., Palmer, A., McKinnon,A. (2015) Report prepared for the UK Committee on Climate Change by the Centre for Sustainable Road Freight.

This project was commissioned by the UK Committee on Climate Change to improve its evidence base on the effects of demand-side measures on the decarbonisation of trucking in the UK.  Demand-side  measures influence the actual use of heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) rather than design and manufacture. ...

Application of the Delphi method to the forecasting of long-term trends in road freight, logistics and related CO2 emissions
Paper

Piecyk, M. I. and McKinnon, A.C., International Journal of Transport Economics, 15, 2, 241-266 (2013)

A Delphi survey is a popular forecasting technique that can be applied to a wide range of research problems and disciplines. It is particularly useful in mid- and long-term forecasting. This paper reviews applications of the method to the field of freight transport and logistics and assesses the usefulness of Delphi-derived predictions of long-term freight and associated environmental trends. ...

Energy efficiency practices among road freight hauliers
Paper

Liimatainen, H., Stenholm, P., Tapio, P., and McKinnon, A.C., Energy Policy, 50, 833-842 (2012)

The reduction of greenhouse gases (GHG) is a highly prevalent public policy goal among European Union member countries. In the new White Paper on transport, the role of road freight transports in this is strongly emphasized. This far, however, the efficiency practices utilised in logistics firms are less studied. ...

Forecasting the Carbon Footprint of Road Freight Transport in 2020
Paper

Piecyk, M.I. and McKinnon, A.C., International Journal of Production Economics, 128, 1, 31-42 (2010)

This paper reports on research undertaken to determine the baseline trends in logistics and supply chain management and associated environmental effects up to 2020. Factors affecting freight transport demand, truck fuel consumption and related CO2 emissions are classified into six categories in relation to different levels of logistical decision-making. ...

Measurement of CO2 Emissions from Road Freight Transport: A Review of UK Experience
Paper

McKinnon, A.C. and Piecyk, M., Energy Policy, 37, 10, 3733-3742 (2009)

It is possible to estimate CO2 emissions from road freight transport in different ways, depending on the definition of trucking activity, the degree of reliance on survey, vehicle test-cycle and traffic count data and the geographical scope of the calculation. The emergence of differing road freight-related CO2 estimates from official ... ...

CO2 Emissions from Freight Transport in the UK
Report

McKinnon, A.C. (2008): Report prepared for the UK Commission for Integrated Transport

This study was the first attempt to carbon footprint freight transport operations in the UK on a cross-modal basis.  It was undertaken for the Commission on Integrated Transport as part of its major review of ‘Transport and Climate Change’.   The report begins with a discussion of methodological issues and then ... ...
