A Look at Green Freight and Logistics

In this wide-ranging podcast, the EDF's Mathers discussed myriad aspects of topics related to green freight and logistics issues, including: corporate sustainability issues and efforts related to logistics; truck electrification; best green practices in the freight space; and autonomous vehicles, among others.

Jason Mathersis an advocate for clean transportation solutions that improve human health and minimize the impacts of climate change. He directs a global campaign to accelerate the adoption of zero-emission trucks and buses, with a goal of transitioning 30% of all new heavy-duty vehicles in the United States, Europe and China to zero emission by 2030. Jason also contributes to organizational efforts to defend and strengthen vehicle emission standards. Under his leadership, EDF has partnered with manufacturers, consumer packaged goods companies, and retailers to implement strategies that increase carbon efficiency in freight transportation.

Jason also authored The Green Freight Handbook to share the learnings from these partnerships. Hundreds of companies are currently using this comprehensive document to improve freight performance.
