Abstract:
This literature review investigates alternative solutions to fossil fuels in the context of road freight transport, focusing on both ecological and economic perspectives. A rigorous bibliographic method- ology was employed to ensure the relevance and quality of the selected studies. The research process was structured through a systematic, multi-step decision-making approach, which included selecting the most appropriate research plat-form, identifying a relevant keyword combination, and deciding whether to search for keywords in abstracts only or across the entire text. Through this process, 157 scientific publications were identified as relevant for further analysis. The present document focuses on the methodology used to collect, select, and classify the relevant literature.
