Projects
Together with you, we at CLOSER want to create new collaborations and projects in cities, regions, academia, an institute, or a business. CLOSER develops efficient freight transport systems that make living and working in cities and the countryside on human terms possible so that Sweden's business community can compete with sustainable products and services.
Based on the challenges that exist in today's society, we start and run projects together with our partners in City Logistics, Energy Supply, Long-distance transport, and Digitized logistics.
