International organizations have implemented regulations requiring decarbonization of transportation and logistics industries. The special issue addresses net-zero emissions implementation through multimodal transport networks, where major cargo owners and stakeholders have committed to zero-emission transportation. AI and big data technologies are identified as catalysts for digital transformation and carbon reduction optimization.

The special issue aims to fill research gaps concerning net-zero pathway implementation, particularly around three key challenges: direct emissions reduction, higher capital and operating costs for green technologies, and establishing sustainable green energy supply chains. The collection seeks comprehensive and integrated approaches to enable logistics and transportation industries to achieve carbon reduction and multimodal network sustainability.

Researchers are invited to explore how AI, digitalization, new technologies, and policy mechanisms can support decarbonization. The special issue targets the research community and practitioners in transport, logistics, and supply chains to provide managerial insights and expand literature on net-zero pathways.
