Photos, videos and presentations from HITS Result Conference
More than 100 people attended the HITS results conference at the end of November. The day consisted of key-note speakers from Scania and the City of Stockholm, an overview presentation of HITS and project results as well as panel discussions, a dynamic poster session and exhibition. Take part of the films and presentations.
Jack Lu, Project Manager, and Elisabeth Hörnfeldt, Head Project Manager, opened the HITS results conference.
The four-year HITS project, Sustainable and Integrated Transport Systems, has aimed to increase knowledge about sustainable urban freight transport and test solutions in real-life environments that contribute to cleaner, safer and more attractive cities.
The project has involved a large number of transport operators, academic and research institutions, municipal authorities, property owners, logistics companies, and waste management and technology companies. Focusing on Stockholm, the project has carried out several pilot studies to evaluate the impact of alternative distribution modes, in particular off-peak deliveries combined with co-loading of goods. The meeting was held at Scania's headquarters.

- HITS shows the strength of collaborative projects where several new transport arrangements have been tested. The Academy proves that these new solutions really contribute to a transition to sustainable transport, the city can contribute through changes in legal requirements and knowledge transfer, new technologies and services tested by carriers and recipients show sustainable business arrangements. The next important step is to get more people on board. Take a look at the material and be inspired to take the first step towards more sustainable transport solutions!
Elisabeth Hörnfeldt, HITS, Head Project Manager, Scania.
- To innovate, test and scale up new solutions, we need to collaborate with actors from across the transport value chain. The collaboration within HITS has shown that it is possible to streamline transport without compromising on quality. I see off-peak deliveries and co-loading as two interesting solutions to contribute to the city's overall goal of an emission-free city centre by 2030.
Lars Strömgren, Stockholm City, Vice Mayor for Transport and Urban Environment
- Our work shows that property owners have a key role in developing and driving co-loading, as they have direct contact with their tenants and those who own the hubs where transhipment can take place. It's a win-win situation in that their customers get an improved logistics service while the street environment becomes more attractive.
