In order to substantiate their application as a valuable approach towards green freight logistics, the chapter moreover deals with particular ICT systems. Based on the findings of the EU project SuperGreen the individual purpose of selected examples as well as their potential is depicted. The chapter concludes by summarizing and giving recommendations for further ICT development.
