| Abstract (English): | When Colombia signed the Paris Agreement, it committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 51% by 2030 and becoming carbon neutral by 2050. In this sense, the land transport sector, which accounts for 12% of the country’s emissions, faces major challenges. This research aims to serve as a guide for transport companies that operate with a predominantly outsourced fleet to find alternatives to implement actions focused on achieving the decarbonization goal. Mixed methods research was conducted, including 381 surveys of truck drivers and semi-structured interviews with transportation company executives, freight generators, and national experts in the field. Practical alternatives to vehicle electrification were evaluated, considering the constraints associated with fleet outsourcing. The analysis showed that the most effective measures involve a combination of short-, medium- and long-term strategies. Key actions include: increasing vehicle utilization, reducing empty trips, promoting eco-driving, and introducing technology to measure and monitor emissions. However, barriers such as resistance to change, associated costs and lack of charging infrastructure remain. Surveys show that stakeholders are reluctant to take meaningful action without clear incentives. Sustainability is recognized as a priority in the sector, but its implementation requires a more active role for government to correct market failures, provide incentives and promote public policies. It is recommended to start with low-cost measures such as eco-driving training and logistics optimization, while working in parallel on the transition to clean technology fleets. Sectoral cooperation will be key to meeting national climate commitments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): | Colombia, al suscribir el acuerdo de Paris, se comprometió a reducir en un 51% las emisiones de Gases Efecto Invernadero GEI para 2030 y lograr ser carbono neutral en 2050. En este sentido el sector de transporte terrestre de mercancías, que aporta el 12% de las emisiones del país, tiene grandes retos por delante. Este trabajo de investigación tiene como objetivo servir de guía para que empresas de transporte que operan con flota predominantemente tercerizada encuentren alternativas para implementar acciones enfocadas al cumplimiento de la meta de descarbonización. Se realizó una investigación mixta que incluyó 381 encuestas a conductores de camiones y entrevistas semiestructuradas a lideres de empresas de transporte, generadores de carga y expertos nacionales en la materia. Se evaluaron alternativas prácticas a la electrificación de vehículos, considerando las limitaciones relacionadas con la tercerización de la flota. El análisis reveló que las medidas más efectivas implican una combinación de estrategias a corto, mediano y largo plazo. Entre las principales acciones destacan: aumentar la ocupación vehicular, reducir viajes vacíos, fomentar la eco-conducción y adoptar tecnología para la medición y monitoreo de emisiones. Sin embargo, persisten barreras como la resistencia al cambio, costos asociados y la falta de infraestructura de recarga. Las encuestas mostraron baja disposición de los actores a asumir medidas significativas sin incentivos claros. La sostenibilidad es reconocida como una prioridad en el sector, pero su implementación requiere un papel más activo del gobierno para corregir fallas de mercado, ofrecer incentivos y promover políticas públicas. Se recomienda iniciar con acciones de bajo costo, como la capacitación en eco-conducción y la optimización logística, mientras se trabaja paralelamente en la transición a flotas con tecnologías limpias. La cooperación entre sectores será clave para cumplir con los compromisos climáticos nacionales. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
