Abstract: Abstract This paper analyses the joint impact of depot location and routing decisions on emissions in freight transportation. We study a variant of the location-routing problem by considering environmental objectives and time windows. The aim is to minimize the sum of depot cost, driver cost, and the cost of fuel and CO2 emissions. The paper develops an adaptive large neighborhood search metaheuristic which was applied to a large pool of benchmark instances and offers a number of advanced procedures. Extensive analyses assess the effect of various problem parameters, such as depot cost, number of potential depots and depot capacity, on key performance indicators. The paper also offers several managerial and policy insights on economies of environmental friendly location-routing.
