Digitization of urban freight transport is becoming increasingly important with the development of information technology and the gig economy. This paper conducts a bibliometric analysis to explore research hotspots and future trends in the digital transformation of urban freight transportation. Using Scopus and the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection as data sources, the analysis highlights the countries with the most published articles and identifies important knowledge bases for digital transformation, such as «digital twin», «physical Internet», «hyperconnected», «logistics», «ALICE» and «Zero Emissions Initiatives». The analysis included examining the number of published articles by year and the distribution of these articles by country. A comparative analysis of keywords used in different studies was also conducted. As a result of the keyword analysis, the main areas of research in the field of digital transformation of urban freight transportation were identified, such as digital double freight transportation, physical Internet, ALICE, Zero-emission and research on the goals of urban logistics. A comparative analysis of the links between the literature showed an increase in the ranking of studies on the impact of digital transformation on freight transport in an urban environment using a connected approach. This approach is relevant in the context of digitalization of urban freight transportation and deserves further scientific attention. In addition, they will provide directions for further research and development of digital solutions in urban logistics systems, which will contribute to increasing the efficiency and sustainability of freight transportation in urban areas. The obtained results of the study can be useful for scientists, industrial partners and government bodies, as they will contribute to the understanding of the current state of digital transformation in urban freight transport. In addition, they will provide directions for further research and development of digital solutions in urban logistics systems, which will contribute to increasing the efficiency and sustainability of freight transportation in urban areas.
