Recordings: CLOSER's Results Conference 2025

Thursday, May 15, 2025

You can now explore innovation outcomes from CLOSER's projects and share insights from actors who have already begun their journey—through the recorded version of CLOSER’s Results Conference. Join in to learn about new transport solutions and discover how you can innovate and increase efficiency!

Do you work as a transport buyer, goods owner, freight forwarder, or in legislative and policy-making roles within a municipality? Or can you support these roles with proposals for new solutions? Then you should watch the recordings.

All parts of the conference are available below—from panel discussions and partners sharing our innovation results to the opening segment of the conference.

Please note that the recordings and presentations are in Swedish.

Välkommen

CLOSERs ordförande och programledningen reflekterar över det gångna året, Maria Nilsson Öhman, ordförande Kristoffer Skjutare, programansvarig och Anna Kristiansson, programansvarig

Del 1 - Hur kan din kommun arbeta med regelverk för att nå effektivare godstransporter?

Nya effektiva last-mile-lösningar genom elektrifiering och ändrade regelverk

Ta del av lärdomar och lösningar testade i det Stockholmsbaserade projektet HITS 2
Presenteras av, Andreas Säfström, projektledare Trafikkontoret Stockholms Stad och Lena Karlsson, Teamleader Centrala förvaltningsorganisationen för samordnad varudistribution, Haninge Kommun.

Digitala stödsystem i kommunen för att nå effektiv godstrafik 

Inspireras av exempel från tester gjorda i Stockholm och Göteborg inom projektet Smarta urbana trafikzoner: 

  • Effektiva lastplatsytor 
  • Effektiv och automatiserad tillståndsprocess för intelligent access 
  • Säkra och trygga delade stadsytor 

Presenteras av Rodrigue Al Fahel, senior innovations- och forskningsledare CLOSER

Storskaligt test av geofencing i Enköpings stadskärna där flera olika transportslag hastighetssäkras. Vad lärde vi oss av detta?

Presenteras av, Christian Howard, forskare, VTI och Maurizio Freddo, Trafikplanerare Enköpings kommun

Vad kommer härnäst inom urban logistik?

CLOSERs fokusområdesansvarig Jack Lu, innovationsledare, CLOSER, spanar om vad partnerskapet vill göra och vad vi behöver fokusera på för att vi ska lyckas med implementation av bra lösningar i staden.

Del 2 - Så kan transportör och kund tillsammans elektrifiera Sveriges fordonsflotta

I denna del presenterar vi insikter och resultat från projektet REEL med fokus på hur samarbeten mellan transportörer och transportköpare kan påskynda elektrifieringen av fordonsflottan. Genom att tillsammans utveckla innovativa affärsupplägg kan olika aktörer arbeta mot gemensamma mål.

Vi lyfter även vikten av effektiv laddinfrastruktur, samarbete mellan åkerier. Men även hur transportörer inom farligt gods fortsätter utveckla sina lösningar och inför fler elektriska lastbilar.

Elektrifiering av transporter med farligt gods och samarbetet med kund

Presenteras av Magnus Sundström, Wibax

Elektrifierade timmertransporter i praktiken: Ur en transportköpares perspektiv

Presenteras av Anton Ahlinder, SCA Skog

Elektrifierade godstransporter i praktiken: Ett framgångsrikt samarbete mellan LBC Frakt och Skanska

Presenteras av Lars Reinholdsson, LBC Frakt och Linus Gäfvert, Skanska Sverige AB

Magnus Sundström, Wibax, Anton Ahlinder, SCA Skog, Lars Reinholdsson, LBC Frakt och Linus Gäfvert, Skanska Sverige AB och modereraas av Caroline Karlsson, kommunikationsansvarig, CLOSER.

Del 3 - Transportinköp i förändring: Klimatkrav och nya möjligheter med sjöfart

 

Vilka inköpskriterier ställs vid val att transporttjänst hos transportköpare och hur kan ny lagstiftning, ny teknik och förbättrad driftsekonomi bidra till nya sjöfartslösningar?

Preliminära insikter och en framtidsspaning från projektet Cargo Express presenteras av Tove Wahlén och Lars Green.

Hur kan hamnar agera för att bidra till sjöfartens omställning till förnyelsebara drivmedel?

Här presenteras resultat från projektet Blue Supply Chains där fokus varit på hur Umeå Hamn kan förbereda sin verksamhet för att kunna erbjuda förnyelsebara bränslen till sjöfart. Sessionen modereras av Camilla Sundqvist, Innovations- och forskningsledare, CLOSER tillsammans med Elin Malmgren på IVL samt Lina Samuelsson på INAB-Infrastruktur i Umeå.
