Abstract: Abstract This chapter undertakes an in-depth exploration of the evolving landscape of logistics within Vietnam, emphasizing the indispensable integration of advanced technologies synonymous with the Logistics 4.0 (Log4.0) paradigm. Positioned as a developing nation with a burgeoning economy, Vietnam occupies a pivotal juncture in its trajectory toward progress, thereby prompting a meticulous examination through the lens of a technologically driven logistics landscape. The narrative adeptly traverses the disruptive forces of digitalization, automation, and connectivity, collectively encapsulated within the purview of Log4.0. This exposition meticulously unravels the transformative nuances of these innovations, delineating their departure from conventional logistics practices and ushering in an era characterized by heightened efficiency, transparency, and sustainability. The elucidation is substantiated through a discerning analysis of pertinent case studies and industry insights, thereby elucidating the profound impacts wrought by technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and data analytics upon the intricate tapestry of Vietnam’s logistical infrastructure. Moreover, the chapter comprehensively examines the interplay between governmental policies, private-sector initiatives, and the adaptive acumen of logistics stakeholders, in response to the imperatives imposed by contemporary technologies. It sheds illuminating insights into the manifold challenges and opportunities arising from this epochal journey. As Vietnam embraces the Technology Imperative, this chapter contends that Log4.0 transcends its role as a mere supply chain optimization mechanism, emerging as a potent catalyst for socio-economic development. The discerning reader is invited to envisage the symbiotic relationship forged between cutting-edge technologies and Vietnam's logistics metamorphosis, thereby accentuating the nation's latent potential to assert itself as a regional powerhouse within the evolving logistics landscape of the future.
