Global goods transport
The continuing integration of an expanding global economy means moving more goods further and faster, both internationally and locally. Emissions and efficiency standards for aviation, shipping, and heavy-duty vehicles are key to managing growth in the freight sector. Some useful general and statistical sources to complement the information here include the CAI-Asia Green Freight and Logistics site (http://www.greenfreightandlogistics.org/), the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (http://www.bts.gov/programs/freight_transportation/), and Eurostat (http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/statistics_explained/index.php/Freight_...).
