Road freight transportation substantially contributes to the economic development but adverse effects on the environment via greenhouse gas emissions, especially carbon dioxide. According to statistics in Europe for example, the period between 2000 and 2015 witnessed a 14% increase in the total road freight and the transport sector accounted for one-quarter of emissions simultaneously. With an increasing worldwide worry about the environmental aspects of carrying freight, a series of Acts and programs regarding green transportation have been issued. Recently, this concern has been mentioned in sustainable development goals introduced by the United Nations. In Vietnam, the development of Logistics and freight transportation have not coincided with adequate measures to alleviate harmful impacts on the environment. In this paper, we study green freight programs and the potential of their application for Vietnam.
