PositiveImpact The Green Freight Corridor Initiative could lead to the creation of a sustainable logistics sector, generating jobs in electric vehicle production, maintenance, and infrastructure development such as charging stations. It encourages innovation in freight transport technology and promotes a greener economy, potentially improving public health and reducing urban pollution. Moreover, as freight operations become more efficient, it could stimulate economic growth and local employment through new business opportunities in green logistics.

NegativeImpact While the initiative may reduce congestion in the short-term, it might fail to address the wider issues of traffic management and infrastructure capacity, which could lead to unresolved congestion problems as freight volumes grow. Additionally, the focus on electric heavy-duty trucks may not address all environmental impacts, such as battery production and disposal, which can have long-term negative effects. Local economies reliant on traditional trucking jobs may suffer a transitional unemployment if workers are not retrained for emerging roles in green logistics.
