A multi-objective methodology was proposed for solving the green vehicle routing problem with a private fleet and common carrier considering workload equity. The iterated local search metaheuristic, which is adapted to the solution of the problem with three objectives, was proposed as a solution method. A solution algorithm was divided into three stages. In the first, initial solutions were identified based on the savings heuristic. The second and third act together using the random variable neighbourhood search algorithm, which allows performing an intensification process and perturbance processes, giving the possibility of exploring new regions in the search space, which are proposed within the framework of optimizing the three objectives. According to the previous review of the state of the art, there is little related literature; through discussions with the productive sector, this problem is frequent due to increases in demand in certain seasons or a part of the maintenance vehicle fleet departing from service. The proposed methodology was verified using case studies from the literature, which were adapted to the problem of three objectives, obtaining consistent solutions. Where cases were not reported in the literature, these could be used as a reference in future research.
