Initiative for reduced transport traffic and emissions in Gothenburg's event district

A consortium gathering several stakeholders in the event district (Evenemangsstråket) of Gothenburg has initiated a project to develop and demonstrate a fossil-free and efficient logistics solution for the area. By creating a new type of collaboration for joint distribution, the stakeholders hope to reduce congestion, emissions, and noise to create a more attractive neighbourhood.
