The vehicle routing problem (VRP) is a combinatorial optimization problem that involves finding the optimal design of routes for a fleet of vehicles to serve the demands of a set of customers. This chapter investigates the evolution of three major and applicable streams of the VRPs, namely, electric vehicle routing problem (EVRP), green vehicle routing problem (GVRP), and hybrid vehicle routing problem (HVRP). This survey chapter aims to provide a comprehensive and structured overview of the state of knowledge and discuss important characteristics of the problems, including formulation techniques, methods of solution, and areas of application. We then show how they are different from the traditional vehicle routing problem. Finally, we present a summary table for each variant to emphasize some key features that represent the developments direction of researches.
