How can logistics companies use truck-sharing to boost efficiency and flexibility in freight transport operations? This book is the first to present a comprehensive concept for the application of sharing economy principles to road freight transport. Despite mounting pressure on the industry, including driver shortage, tight margins and efficiency deficits, shared mobility remains largely untapped in freight transport. This book introduces truck-sharing as a new strategic approach for unlocking underutilised capacity and increasing operational flexibility. The analysis is grounded in real-world practice, integrating the engaged scholarship approach with backcasting methodology to explore use cases, implementation drivers and barriers, and strategic implications. It integrates insights from horizontal cooperation and the sharing economy into a forward-looking, design-oriented framework tailored for logistics decision-makers. Addressing transport operators, researchers, and policymakers, this book offers clear, actionable recommendations showing how truck-sharing can reduce costs, downtime, and environmental impact. It sets a new direction for more efficient and collaborative freight transport across Europe.
