A neutral platform for transport efficiency

A new national logistics data lab is now in place with the objective of increasing the potential for collaborations on sharing and using collective data. This will benefit the development of a future sustainable transport system.

There is no doubt that society needs to become more sustainable, and that many different pieces are needed to complete the jigsaw puzzle that makes up the global sustainability goals. Our food consumption and the logistics associated with this represent an important piece of this puzzle. During Transporteffektivitetsdagen (which translates as "Transport Efficiency Day", or TREFF for short) the audience gained insights into how circular food supply chains can work – and how they can attract new partnerships, flows and dialogue.

The HITS project has looked deeply into the problems of transports in cities, including off-peak transports. The carriers increase their delivery precision when they drive the goods off-peak, which is an important customer value, but if the customer does not want the goods at these times, what is left of the customer value then? Can this be solved in such a way that both parties benefit from the goods arriving at night?

CLOSER's board has decided that Kristoffer Skjutare will be the new program manager for CLOSER. In addition, Clara Wallin will be deputy program manager. With this change, CLOSER will get a great foundation for further development moving forward.

Vanja Carlén has been the new project manager at CLOSER since the beginning of August. Vanja has a great interest in data-driven innovation and sustainability and will work in the theme area of ​​digitized and connected logistics.
