This industry's critical concern is to reduce operational cost and carbon emission by industry players' fleet.

Despite Malaysia, certain road haulage has not yet implemented the right blueprint of green logistics to fully optimize their resources and operation that will lead to a myriad of problems in HGV operations resulting in higher operational costs and carbon emission emitted.
