The next wave of innovation in freight | Oren Zaslansky | TED Talk

Learn more about how inefficiencies in the supply chain can impact sustainability and climate change with “The next wave of innovation in freight.” In this TED talk, Oren Zaslansky explains how, throughout the US, millions of freight trucks are buzzing goods across state lines and producing massive amounts of greenhouse emissions — and how some of these freights are only half full. From there, Zaslansky talks about his work in trying to make this 400-billion-dollar-a-year supply chain process as efficient and sustainable as possible. He digs into the logistics of filling these trucks to their maximum capacity through algorithmic carpooling (think ride-sharing but for freights) and explains how this brings with it the potential of a more transparent and eco-friendly global supply chain.
