Road map
The road transport industry’s roadmap for a fossil free Sweden aims at identifying progressive and ambitious, yet growth-oriented policies in strengthening the competitiveness of Swedish haulers while they become fossil free.
The roadmap serves as a knowledge base and information to the government, and in inventory of the work already achieved in minimizing emissions. The report is part of the government initiative Fossil Free Sweden and the project Fossil Free Competitiveness. The national target for net zero emissions is year 2045.
