Optimizing Transport Fleet Maintenance Through Lean Logistics Integrating Green Logistics and ISO 14001: Systematic Review

Abstract

The optimization of maintenance in transportation fleets, combined with sustainable logistics approaches and compliance with standards such as ISO 14001, has shown significant progress in both practice and theory. This review aims to integrate operational efficiency with environmental sustainability, establishing Lean methodologies and sustainable logistics for proper management, and analyzing the benefits of ISO 14001 that arise from developing established methodologies. 1,735 articles in Scopus, EBSCO, and Web of Science include research from 2020 to the current year, 2025. In this sense, logistics organizations can significantly reduce their emissions through internal strategies, such as switching fuels in their fleets and implementing renewable electricity management in their facilities. The conclusion is that by integrating green logistics, Lean methodologies, and ISO 14001, we achieve environmental change in global organizations, as well as satisfactory economic results.
