| Purpose: Physical internet enhances the efficiency of logistical activities which main aim is to achieve sustainable development especially in lowering the environmental footprint Design: the paper investigates scientific papers and project reports to define the transportation system especially in Egypt and faced problems, and how the PI-tools can be used to enhance the system Research methodology: this research conducts a case study to investigate the relationship between applying PI-tools in transportation through conducting interviews with startup companies in transportation fields and applying simulation model to measure the results on largescale and small scale. Findings: The results revealed a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions and reduction on the cost by 40 %. Research Limitations: the research paper mainly focused on applying the concept on FMCG industry. Moreover, there are many constraints to apply the concept with its main tools in all countries. Implications: Applying the physical internet with its main tools will greatly affect the sustainability of transportation systems and will reduce transportation therefore improving the performance of the whole supply chain. Originality: This paper provides a proposed simulation model for transportation network according to the main principles of the physical internet instead of moving commodities for a long distance from the origin point to the destination, it can move through PI-hubs to the destination to reduce the transportation process | ||
