Ahmed Abd Rab Elnaby Mohamed,Mohamed Affifi Mahmoud
ABSTRACT:
Recently, the initiatives and strategies that lead to green logistics are gaining interest. Backhaul trucking is a transportation approach whereby empty trucks deliver another load near to the previous unloading place rather than returning empty all the way to the original origin. CEMEX Egypt gave the Egyptian market the first implementation of Backhaul trucking service. It results in decreases the CO2 emissions which affected the green logistics. This paper examines the impact of Backhauling in the Environmental aspect of sustainable supply chain practices through optimizing the truck’s productivity and explains the factors that influence the effective Backhaul Trucking service. This paper initiated with a systematic literature review to scan the previous studies of the relationship between Backhauling and Environmental aspect of Sustainable supply chain practices. The quantitative approach was obtained from CEMEX Egypt case study through gathered historical data. Analysis and interpretation of the statistical data resulted from regression analysis and Structural equation modeling by using SPSS and AMOS tools.
