The World’s Largest Electric Truck Now Rolling on Swedish Roads
The world’s largest electric truck is now operating within the TREE project, led by Skogforsk. The woodchip hauler from Scania is 33 meters long and weighs 94 tonnes when fully loaded. It is owned by LBC Frakt Värmland and operated on behalf of Stora Enso.
Power shortage threatens the electrification of the logistics sector – but local solutions and user flexibility point the way forward
The logistics sector faces a potential bottleneck. As electric trucks become increasingly common and transport fleets rapidly electrify, the demand for power at logistics terminals is growing – a demand the Swedish power grid struggles to meet. But solutions exist. The innovation and research project LEELA shows that the power challenge can be solved locally at terminals by expanding local energy systems – with solar panels and battery storage – and by using available resources more efficiently. The results pave the way for faster and more sustainable electrification of the sector, without...
A guide to more efficient urban traffic
Is your municipality ready to create a more flexible, sustainable and safer urban centre? A new, practical guide is now available to help you implement smart urban traffic zones.
Do you also want to contribute to more efficient transport?
As a partner in CLOSER, you get the opportunity to explore and realize ideas together with like-minded organizations that form a powerful and competent network that all work for a transport-efficient society. With curiosity, together we explore with you as a partner how we can make the freight transport system more efficient. We do this by gathering accurate insights and solutions in innovation projects.
