Abstract As energy overuse and generated pollution have a potential threat to our environmental and ecological conditions, many researchers have taken the initiative way to join the green campaign to prevent more damage to the environment. This paper investigates the main contributions related to the green vehicle routing problem (Green-VRP) and presents a classification scheme based on its variants considered in scientific literature, in particular, three major and applicable streams including internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs), alternative-fuel powered vehicles (AFVs), and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), and also several sub-categories for each of them. This systematic literature review intends to provide a comprehensive and structured survey of the state of knowledge and discuss the most important characteristics of the problems, including techniques of formulation, solution methodologies, and areas of application. This paper presents different analytical summary tables for each variant to emphasize some main features that provide the direction of the development of researches. Finally, to spot future avenues, gaps in the literature are distinguished to illustrate how new contributions are different from traditional problems.

绿色车辆路径问题：最先进的审查

摘要 由于能源过度使用和产生的污染对我们的环境和生态状况构成潜在威胁，许多研究人员主动加入绿色运动，以防止对环境造成更大的破坏。本文研究了与绿色车辆路径问题 (Green-VRP) 相关的主要贡献，并基于科学文献中考虑的其变体提出了一种分类方案，特别是三个主要和适用的流，包括内燃机汽车 (ICEV)、替代方案- 燃料动力汽车 (AFV) 和混合动力电动汽车 (HEV)，以及每种汽车的几个子类别。这篇系统的文献综述旨在提供对知识状态的全面和结构化的调查，并讨论问题的最重要特征，包括配方技术、解决方法和应用领域。本文针对每个变体提供了不同的分析汇总表，以强调一些主要特征，这些特征提供了研究发展的方向。最后，为了发现未来的途径，区分文献中的空白以说明新贡献与传统问题的不同之处。
