      abstract = {In the recent past, Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) has become a vital engagement model for achieving goals of environmental responsibility and supply chain performance. To achieve this goal of understanding the part played by eco-transportation towards realistic improvement within GSCM, this study employs a secondary analysis of journal articles, industry papers, and empirical research. These research outcomes show that the implementation of eco-transportation technologies like EVs, hybrid trucks, and AFVs to a large extent alleviates fuel expenses, and increases the delivery frequency and efficiency in the use of resources. Governments therefore have a very important role in providing policy support for eco-transportation, with parts of the world like the European Union being particularly successful due to tight emission laws and incentives. However, there has been wide-scale adoption hampered by factors like cost, lack of infrastructure, and type of industry. This paper discusses that retail end e-commerce industries are more likely to use drones for last-mile delivery, while heavy industries have some limitations as to payloads and range. Therefore, if these trends: automation, AI, and green hydrogen, are to be delivered they offer a vision of how it can be done and offer solutions to these challenges for sustainable logistics. The paper argues that eco-transportation is crucial to developing sustainable and efficient supply chains and outlines practical implications for practice, policies, and academics. When filling infrastructure deficiencies, promoting innovation, and bringing regulation into conformity with market needs, eco-transportation can contribute to the adaptation of the global supply chain towards increased eco-efficiency.},
