Sustainability has become a core issue of organizations. In the
logistics domain, the vision of the Physical Internet aims to create
sustainable logistics networks. Sustainable transport in such networks
will still be a core contributor for achieving sustainable operations.
This paper investigates contributions of truck platooning, a means for
safe and efficient freight transport, to physical internet systems vice
versa. The results reveal relationships especially in the PI areas (i)
connectivity, (ii) collaboration and coordination as well as (iii)
sustainable, safe and secure supply chains.
