TL;DR: The purpose is to review the most up-to-date state-of-the-art of GVRP, discuss how the traditional VRP variants can interact with G VRP and offer an insight into the next wave of research into GVRp.
Abstract: Green Logistics has emerged as the new agenda item in supply chain management. The traditional objective of distribution management has been upgraded to minimizing system-wide costs related to economic and environmental issues. Reflecting the environmental sensitivity of vehicle routing problems (VRP), an extensive literature review of Green Vehicle Routing Problems (GVRP) is presented. We provide a classification of GVRP that categorizes GVRP into Green-VRP, Pollution Routing Problem, VRP in Reverse Logistics, and suggest research gaps between its state and richer models describing the complexity in real-world cases. The purpose is to review the most up-to-date state-of-the-art of GVRP, discuss how the traditional VRP variants can interact with GVRP and offer an insight into the next wave of research into GVRP. It is hoped that OR/MS researchers together with logistics practitioners can be inspired and cooperate to contribute to a sustainable industry.

TL;DR: The third edition of Connecting to Compete, a report summarizing the findings from the new dataset for the 2012 Logistics Performance Index (LPI) and its component indicators, is presented in this paper.
Abstract: This is the third edition of Connecting to Compete, a report summarizing the findings from the new dataset for the 2012 Logistics Performance Index (LPI) and its component indicators. Based on a worldwide survey of global freight forwarders and express carriers, the LPI is a benchmarking tool developed by the World Bank that measures performance along the logistics supply chain within a country. The index can help countries identify challenges and opportunities and improve their logistics performance. The World Bank conducts the survey every two years. The 2012 LPI also provides expanded data on import and export supply chains in 143 countries, including information on time, cost, and reliability and ratings on domestic infrastructure quality, the performance of core services, and the friendliness of trade clearance procedures. The 2012 LPI and its indicators encapsulate the firsthand knowledge of movers of international trade. This information is relevant for policymakers and the private sector seeking to identify priorities for reform of their soft and hard trade and logistics infrastructure. Findings include the following. First, despite a positive trend in performance since 2007, infrastructure, clearance procedures, and quality of services remain serious constraints, except in high-income countries. Second, countries with substantial performance improvement are the ones that have implemented long-term and comprehensive reforms and investments. Third, efficient border clearance goes beyond customs and implies coordination of the various agencies involved. Fourth, greening the logistics is a growing concern, especially when shipping with Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development countries.
