According to few experts, the next evolution will be "Green Supply
Chain". With crude having crossed USD 100 mark and pressure to reduce
carbon emission, it is the thing that will catch the management
attention in every company that is involved with transportation of
goods. In a country like India, the scope to reduce emission by
Logistics industry is huge. According to one estimate Indian
outsourced logistics industry is slated to grow at CAGR of over 16%
between 2007-10. There are about 3 million trucks on Indian roads,
consuming almost 20 million liters of diesel every day and emitting
about 500,000 of CO emission. We all know about the condition of roads
as well as of trucks plying on these roads. The laws made to regulate
the life of trucks & load carrying capacity for each kind of trucks
have met with little success. Overloaded trucks on the highways is a
common scene & helping only to fill pockets of few. However if the
road conditions improve & laws are enforced properly, the CO emission
should come down by 30-40%.
Any suggestions, views or comments?
