A neutral platform for transport efficiency

HITS has focused on transport in cities. A focus area has been Off-peak transport. Electrification of the vehicles enables night deliveries as the noise levels go down. The carriers increase their delivery precision when they deliver the goods off peak, which is an important customer value, but if the customer does not want the goods at these times? what will be left of the customer value then? Can this be solved in a way so that both the customer and the carrier benefit from the goods arriving during the night?

High-Capacity Transport (HCT) refers to transporting things longer and/or heavier than current regulations allow. Increased use of HCT vehicles would increase energy efficiency and thereby reduce CO2 emissions. An important part of the development of HCT-vehicles is the exchange of ideas and knowledge, which the Nordic network did at last week's conference.

— To create a city on pedestrians' terms, right technology and good cooperation are needed, says Felicia Hökars, project manager, Smart Urban Traffic Zones. The result from the Smart urban traffic zones project shows that it is technically possible to create smart zones in cities to control transport with everything from food to concrete, for a safer and more sustainable city.

Henrik Åkerman, Head of Purchasing at Picadeli, will be one of the speakers at TREFF. His presentation will explain how Picadeli optimises their supply chain, as a company with quick logistics due to their fresh products with short shelf-life. Henrik will also talk about how technology can be used to reinvent the supply chain and democratizing healthy food along with reducing food waste. If this sounds interesting, you can get a preview of the presentation already now.
