Abstract: Abstract Today’s logistics networks are facing a multitude of conflicting challenges and targets as fleet operators are striving to realize efficient, flexible, and sustainable networks at once. In this context, logistics networks with intermediate stops provide promising solutions to achieve these goals, as they allow for new delivery concepts and the deployment of new technologies. This article summarizes the findings of the correspondent doctoral thesis that presents a generic algorithmic framework for the strategic design and the operation of such networks. Besides, it derives deep managerial insights for one specific application case, the use of electric vehicles in mid-haul logistics.
