    Highlights Fleet electrification is just a starting point to reduce logistic emissions. Spatial charging management can untap more decarbonization potential. A logistic optimization model demonstrates CO2 reductions via smart charging. Corporate internal carbon policy can incentivize grid decarbonization.

    Abstract Companies have made significant progress in decarbonizing product manufacturing, but transportation decarbonization lags as focus area. Battery advancements enable decarbonization in logistics through electric vehicle adoption. Yet, without managed charging, the total potential for freight electrification to reduce carbon emissions remains constrained. Using a route optimization and production reallocation model, this analysis demonstrates how fleet managers could actively reduce carbon emissions by up to 30% based on a Chinese case study. If data are available, the model could be applied to other countries and especially the international supply chains. Optimizing fleet charging in locations with the lowest grid emission factors achieves the greatest emission reductions. Companies seeking to decarbonize their logistics should explore novel fleet charging strategies. Meanwhile, cities with clean electric grids can attract electric vehicle charging and stimulate job growth, further incentivizing decarbonization of public utilities. This initiates a virtuous cycle of business-led emission reductions.
