Question

Thoroughly explain each of the following in a detailed way:

A) The importance of transportation vehicles such as semi trucks on global industries.

B) The effect and benefits of making that transportation sustainable (for instance, electric semis).

C) Those impacted positively with this change (businesses saving money in the long-term, the environment, etc.)

D) How long this transition will take to occur.

E) Overall, why this change is necessary and important, no matter the initial upfront costs, challenges.

Answer 1

A ) A semi truck is a combination of tractor and semi trailers to carry freight.The backbone of trade a and commerce is road freight transport like semi truck.They carry about 71.3% of freight transported over the land.They are the most flexible ,and economic mode of transport.At some point in the distribution chain,trucks are used to transport our daily necessities from supermarket , newspapers and magazines, electonics goods,clothing etc.Trucks deliver essential public services like garbage collection ,fire services, construction services etc.Trucks play an important role in industries and businesses by tranporting goods from location where they are sourced to places where the goods are demanded.Trucks link the global industries with the suppliers and customers.

B)Sustainable transportation means transportation that is green and has less impact on environment.Transport system has significant effect on environment by consuming 20% to 25% of world energy and emmission of carbon di oxide.Sustainable transport (electric semis )make a positive contribution to the environment, society and in maintaining the economic sustainability of the communities served by them.Sustainable transport make contribution to the health and safety of the people by reducing pollution ,reduces air and noise pollution,save money,supports economic development .

C)Sustainable transport make a positive contribution to the environment, society and in maintaining the economic sustainability of the communities served by them.Sustainable transport make contribution to the health and safety of the people ,reduces air and noise pollution,save money,supports economic development .

D)Sustainable transport include walking, cycling,car pooling , car sharing,and green vehicles. This transition can occur as soon as people understand the benefits that they get from sustainable transportation.

E)Sustainable transport include walking, cycling,car pooling , car sharing,and green vehicles.Households benefit greatly from low carbon emmissions .The advantages of increased mobility with so many options of sustainable transport need to be considered against the environmental ,societal and economic cost that is generally posed by the transport system.Health care costs increased with transportation and sustainable transport can reduce such cost .So the benefits of sustainable transport outweigh the cost of such transport.
