How can long-distance transport become more efficient?
In order to maximize the efficiency of long-distance transport, it is important to exploit the advantages of each mode of transport. We strive to create a cost-effective, accessible and punctual transport system by optimizing the transfer between different types of traffic.
This must be done together with you. Long-haul transport, including terminal and port handling, is perhaps the most complex in the entire supply chain. There are lots of different actors who must interact in a large but reasonably crowded ecosystem with fierce competition. Traditionally, much work and communication has taken place in silos.
To change the long-distance logistics system in the direction of Agenda 2030's sustainability goals, we need to work together. Everyone needs to be involved across all types of traffic and all parts of the logistics chain.
CLOSER functions as a neutral platform where different actors can collaborate to discuss and implement projects in long-distance transport. Our goal is to strengthen a sustainable supply of transport both to and from and within Sweden's borders.
We see significant benefits in a neutral platform, such as CLOSER, where various stakeholders can meet to discuss project proposals, form project groups, distribute tasks to ensure everyone moves toward essentially the same goals, and consolidate as well as disseminate project results.
