Biography

Muhammad Shujaat Mubarik is associate professor of Logistics and Supply Chain Management and the Head of Research in Marketing & Operations at Edinburgh Business School, Heriot-Watt University, UK.

Jyri Vilko is an associate professor of Logistics at LUT University, Finland.

Sajid Nazir is a junior researcher and Ph.D. student at LUT University, Kouvola-Finland.

"As a scholar deeply engaged in the strategic role of logistics in sustainable and resilient systems, I find this book a timely and essential contribution. It bridges foundational theory with emerging practices in electric vehicle supply chains, offering insights that are both academically rigorous and practically relevant. The integration of circular economy principles and digitalization aligns strongly with the future of logistics research and practice."

Prof. Erik Sandberg, Linköping University, Sweden.

"This volume encapsulates the intricate complexity and dynamic nature of contemporary supply chains within the electric vehicle sector. Drawing upon my extensive experience spanning global logistics, digital supply networks, and collaborative product design and innovation, I commend the book’s comprehensive exploration of regulatory, technological, and human capital challenges. It stands as a valuable resource for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers alike."

Prof. Kulwant S Pawar, University of Nottingham, UK.

"My research in circular economy and remanufacturing finds a strong echo in this book’s treatment of battery sourcing, lifecycle management, and reverse logistics. The authors have succeeded in presenting a multidimensional view of sustainability in EV supply chains, making this work a compelling reference for those interested in environmental and operational transformation."

Prof. Matthias Kalverkamp, Wiesbaden Business School, Germany.
