The Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) is an integral part of the Supply Chain due to the ever-increasing traffic in the trade sector and not only worldwide. Over the years it has been studied a lot, weighing a different factor each time depending on the needs and constraints. This paper attempts to adapt the problem to the ecological conditions of our time by creating a "Green VRP" where the energy consumption of the system is minimized. By imitating nature and more specifically the behavior of ants, a code is developed in Matlab programming environment with the aim of optimizing vehicle routes while taking into account the service time and capacity of each vehicle also considering the energy footprint.
