Abstract. Green transportation is a concept developed by utilizing vehicles that are environmentally
friendly, low in emissions and do not produce pollution that has a negative impact on the environment. This
study aims to analyze scientific publications by utilizing green transportation as the main construct that has
relevance to sustainable transportation to be directed into novelty and followed up in future developments.
Meta analysis was developed by optimizing the use of scientific literature on the concept of green
transportation. The analysis was developed through a qualitative approach and literature review using
VOSviewer. This study describes 4920 journals published from 2018 to 2022 as data sources from database
search results found on Google Scholar which were developed through the Preferred Reporting Items for
Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) stages. Results state that the trend of scientific
publications on the studied construct has increased in line with the need for the sustainability of the
transportation system. In addition, novelty of construct is obtained as a derivative of green transportation
including green supply chain, green warehousing, green distribution, green logistics, green manufacturing,
green production, green packaging, green infrastructure, green economy, green marketing, green initiative,
clean energy, emission reduction, new energy vehicles and green cities. The novelty of constructs found
needs to be followed up in further studies along with the development of knowledge and technology which
is encouraged to support sustainable development.
