Abstract:
The article proposes the impact of home delivery on transport and CO2 emissions. The results show that home delivery reduces VKT and emissions, but total CO2 emissions are much higher when food refrigeration is included in hot scenarios, and moderately higher or lower in soft scenarios, as refrigeration units increase fuel consumption and therefore truck transport emissions twice up to five compared to driving.
