A multi-commodity two-Echelon capacitated vehicle routing problem with time windows: Model formulations and solution approach

•The MC-2E-VRPTW model formulations involve a combined arc-path based model.•We obtain better lower bound estimates and new capacity constraints in the 2-path formulation.•The numerical evaluation demonstrates the power of the developed models and solution methods. This paper studies the multi-commo...
