The Swedish Road Administration, the oil refiner Preem, the Deutsche Bahn logistics subsidiary Schenker, Volvo Trucks and the Centre for Environment and Sustainability at Chalmers and Göteborg University have joined together in a partnership called “On the Road to Climate Neutral Freight Transportation”.

The objective is to show how to reduce emissions associated with freight transportation by road in Sweden and how the individual participants can contribute. The group’s target is to halve the climate impact of the average shipment by 2025 compared to the 2005 baseline. The project says total greenhouse gas emissions from road freight transportation can be reduced by 15% during this period, despite the expected increase in traffic.

The partnership focuses on improving the efficiency of transportation logistics, fuel production efficiency, vehicle efficiency, as well as expanding the use of renewable fuels.
