Resume Of “Current Situation of Transportation and

Logistics in Sweden and its Challenges”

Opening Speech
Sugiharjo (Head Of Human Resource Development Agency On Transportation)
“Hope that this event will expand cadet’s knowledge about transportation especially sewedens”

By identifying opportunities and welcoming change, transforming transportation the

Swedish way has begun – and it’s an open road.

Sweden has always been responsive to change. In part thanks to this, the ambition to become one
of the world’s first fossil-free countries by year 2045 is not as far-fetched as it may seem.

Sustainable mobility can be achieved as long as technological breakthroughs, commercial

expertise and political will are in synch. And if there is something that Swedes are good at, it is
collaborating. Swedes are also open to change and willing to try anything new, from exotic foods to new
ways of getting about.

There are currently 480 cars per 1,000 people in Sweden. But the near future might look very
different. Plans are underway for subscription services that combine seamless transportation with
payment functionality, all tailored to transportation needs. Moving goods could be resolved in a similar
way.

Sweden has a government that promotes sustainable growth, an academia and industry at the
forefront of technology, and progressive and curious citizens. The ideas, products and technologies to
make change happen are already in place. What is needed is adaptive regulations that ensure that the
future of mobility is sustainable, safe, efficient and attractive.

A FEW CHALLENGES along the way

Sweden’s ambitious new climate change legislation entered into force in January 2018, setting
out a framework for the country to become a net zero greenhouse gas emitter by 2045 at the latest. To that
end, Sweden has committed to partial climate- and transport policy goals to be met by 2020.
 That includes reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 17 per cent (compared to 2005), increasing
the share of renewable energy to 49 per cent and reducing energy intensity by 20 per cent1 . Today, the
transport system accounts for about one third of Sweden’s total greenhouse gas emissions, largely
because it is strongly dependent on fossil fuels.

Sweden’s solution is to invest in renewable energy and fossil-free transportation. But to be a

fossil-free country requires more than renewable energy sources and fuels. It calls for a technology shift,
a new regulatory framework, and above all – a total shift in people’s mindset when it comes to mobility.

For example, we must be prepared to accept driverless vehicles in our communities. We also need
to change consumption, accessing mobility as a service rather than a product. Both citizens and
businesses will have to be involved in new shared economies.

Small and medium-sized buses with driverless functions that complement regular public transport
services are already deployed for last-mile connections in limited areas. The next step will be to develop
blueprints that illustrate how we can rely on automated vehicles and mobility services – and show how to
transition from private car dependency to shared sustainable transportation.

But before we see driverless vehicles on the market, we need to assess the societal and
environmental implications of automated vehicles and shared mobility services, and we need to adapt and
update the regulatory framework accordingly. And a transport control system that integrates different
modes and optimises traffic flows must be in place in major cities.

So, a few challenges remain on the way, but through collaboration between the private
sector, academia and the government, Sweden will reach fossil-free mobility.

1. COLLABORATION is key for Swedish development

Sweden is unique in the way the private sector, academia and government join forces to innovate and
implement. Drive Sweden, Lindholmen Science Park and Sea Traffic Management are just a few
examples. Hopefully this small glimpse will give an idea of what Sweden has to offer when it comes to
collaborative programmes, science parks, start-ups and research projects related to sustainable mobility.

- LINDHOLMEN SCIENCE PARK – innovative power for Sweden

Lindholmen Science Park in Gothenburg is not only a dynamic environment hosting some of
Sweden’s biggest development projects within transportation, Information and Communications
Technology (ICT), visualisation and media – it is also an arena for collaboration across geographical
borders.

Lindholmen Science Park strives towards the vision to strengthen Sweden’s competitiveness with
focus on future mobility for people and goods through two parallel assignments. The first is to develop
the ecosystem within Lindholmen Science Park’s geographical area, and the second is to run programmes
and activities that promote innovation and research. The programmes and projects are based on
collaboration between academia, the business community and the public sector.
 - DRIVE SWEDEN – a new approach to mobility

To reach a long-term sustainable mobility solution, the best skills in the field need to work
together across organisational boundaries. This is the purpose of Drive Sweden – a strategic innovation
programme launched by the Swedish government.

For years, the privately-owned car has been a cornerstone for personal mobility, but we are
entering a new era. Connected, driverless and shared vehicles are important building blocks as we
reinvent the meaning of mobility. We are on the threshold of a radical shift, and it’s happening fast. In
just a few years the world will change. We will see entirely new mobility business models that enable
sustainable cities.

- CLOSER – Swedish arena for transport efficiency

CLOSER is a Swedish platform for collaboration, knowledge and innovation that strives to
achieve increased transport efficiency. The results are new solutions for the freight transport system.

Dencity is a well-renowned project within CLOSER. Dencity looks at innovative solutions for
sustainable passenger and freight mobility in dense neighbourhoods. They work on solutions for, among
other things, increased e-commerce and for providing access to comprehensive mobility services such as
electric powered bikes and car pools.

- MODERNISING the marine sector

The human factor is the number one cause of all accidents occurring at sea. Sea Traffic
Management (STM) is an initiative to make the marine sector safer while reducing the negative
environmental impact and increasing efficiency. With financing from the European Union (EU), the
Swedish Maritime Administration has teamed up with industry partners, governments and academia from
13 European countries to modernise the sector.

Sea Traffic Management centres on efficient information exchange and connects the maritime
world in real time. Through data exchange among ships, service providers, ports and shipping companies,
STM is creating tomorrow’s digital infrastructure for shipping.

Associate Professor Mikael Lind, Research Institutes of Sweden (RISE), says, ‘This project will
empower the maritime sector through enhanced interoperability, engaging service providers to contribute
new and innovative services, and bringing what happens at sea closer to what happens within ports.’

Imagine a future where most information does not have to be entered manually but is distributed
automatically from various data sources. Where the control of information still lies with the information
owner, where the crew focuses on safe navigation instead of reporting, and where port calls become even
more efficient and just-in-time. All this is possible through STM.
 2. TOWARDS AN AUTOMATED SOCIETY

An automated society brings many benefits, — but it is a shift that also raises a number of
dilemmas. The Automated Vehicle Traffic Control Tower helps solve one of the biggest challenges of the
future: to give the automated world a human logic.

- AUTOMATED VEHICLE Traffic Control Tower

At the integrated Traffic Research Lab at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology, a project called
Automated Vehicle Traffic Control Tower is investigating the effects of a control tower on automated
(driverless) vehicles, and on traffic management of commercially operated fleets, and of public transport.
The aim is to provide automated vehicles with the support required to increase safety and trust.

What if we have an automated vehicle fleet for all public transport and emergency vehicles, and
the city is suddenly struck by a fierce hail storm? Or what if a tree breaks in a storm and blocks the road
for an emergency vehicle? A human would understand the situation, drive through the hail, remove the
tree or recalculate a new route within seconds.

An automated vehicle may need a human to override the autonomous mode and take control of
the vehicle – especially when it comes to public transport or emergency vehicles in critical situations.

This is what Automated Vehicle Traffic Control Tower is all about. The project’s aim is to
understand the role of a traffic control tower for automated road vehicles. Such a control tower will be
used for control and operations at vehicle, fleet and traffic levels, all of which will be affected by the
introduction of automated, driverless vehicles.

The project is a joint effort by the Integrated Transport Research Lab and the Mobile Services
Lab at KTH, together with industry partners such as Carmenta and Asta Zero.

The project seeks to accelerate research on a platform supporting the supervision, control and
management of automated vehicles, and is funded by Vinnova via Drive Sweden’s programme.

- TESTING AUTOMATED BUSES on public roads

Nobina is the largest bus company in the Nordic region. During the spring of 2018, they
introduced driverless buses on a short route in the Kista district of Stockholm. This was the first time in
Scandinavia that automated vehicles were tested on public roads.

Since the fall of 2018, three more driverless buses have become part of the public transportation
in Stockholm’s newly built sustainable suburb Barkaby, and shortly another three driverless buses will
become part of the same route.

The trial is an initiative called The Autopilot – a collaboration between Nobina Technology,
Ericsson, SJ, KTH, Klövern AB, Urban ICT Arena and Stockholm City. It is funded by Vinnova via
Drive Sweden, among others.
 3. REAL ENVIRONMENT testing of ‘Elways’

The Swedish Transport Administration are looking at new ways to electrify the nation’s major
transport routes. Two real environment tests have been carried out and are now being evaluated.

- E16 SANDVIKEN – the world’s first electric highway

In the heartland of Sweden, you will find the world’s first stretch of electric public road for heavy
trucks. The trials began in June 2016. If the results are positive, we are likely to see larger transport routes
all over Sweden becoming electrified.

E16 Sandviken is a two-kilometre stretch of freeway that is lined with poles that support
overhead electric cables. The heavy trucks are charged in the same way as trolley buses and trams. When
the trucks pass under the cables, a so-called pantograph connects to the truck and automatically injects
power to the system. If there is no electricity to connect to, the vehicle is powered by its usual engine.

The E16 Sandviken trial is managed by Region Gävleborg and is financed by the Swedish
Transport Administration, The Swedish Energy Agency, The Swedish Innovation Agency VINNOVA,
Scania and Siemens.

- eRoadArlanda – elways charging while driving

At Stockholm’s Arlanda Airport, an 18-ton truck is carrying goods for the Swedish postal service.
It runs on a two-kilometre ‘elway’ that charges the truck while it drives. eRoadArlanda is another
example of a project that is part of the Swedish Transport Administration’s pre-commercial procurement
of innovation for the development of electrified roads.

In short, the technical solution at eRoadArlanda transfers energy from a rail in the road to the
vehicle, using a movable arm on the vehicle. The arm detects the location of the rail in the road and as
long as the vehicle is above the rail, the arm will be in a lowered position and in contact. When
overtaking, the arm is automatically raised.

The rail, which is connected to the power grid, is divided into sections, and each individual
section is powered only when a vehicle is above it. When a vehicle stops, the current is disconnected. The
rail enables the vehicle’s batteries to be recharged while powering its passage. The system also calculates
the vehicle’s energy consumption, which enables electricity costs to be charged per vehicle and user.

The Arlanda trial is financed by the Swedish Transport Administration, the Swedish Energy
Agency, Sweden’s innovation agency VINNOVA, and the consortium eRoadArlanda, consisting of NCC,
Elways, eTraction and many others.

The aim of these projects is to generate knowledge, experience and decision-making data for the
creation of a platform for the electrification of larger transport routes in Sweden.
4. GETTING INSPIRED by the start-up scene
One way to make the future more sustainable is to explore ways to improve and renew mobility’s
environmental impact from a social perspective. The Swedish start-up scene is home to many new
businesses passionate about sustainability without sacrificing the convenience of a powered vehicle.

- MAKE WAY for the intelligent movement company

Commercial enterprise Einride is bent on a complete transformation of the transportation

industry. By utilising big data and new technology, the company sets out to make the movement of goods
more intelligent, emission-free and sustainable.

Einride partners with transport-intensive companies to facilitate their transition to a sustainable

transportation system. Rethinking road transport from scratch, Einride’s solution is based on autonomous,
all-electric vehicles, coordinated by an intelligent routing software that integrates customer data, traffic
data, and so on to optimise delivery time, battery life and energy consumption – making the journey from
A to B as efficient as possible. Einride’s first product in production is the T-pod.

The T-pod is already in service at a DB Schenker facility in Jönköping, central Sweden, and
several additional installations are in the pipeline.

Einride's latest product is the T-log, an autonomous, all-electric logging truck that incorporates
some off-road capabilities and is designed to navigate forest roads. Einride hopes to introduce the T-log to
public roads by 2020.

- ELECTRIC WORK VEHICLES developed in Sweden

Inzile was founded in 2012 by three entrepreneurs with a strong desire to change the work vehicle
sector. Both the production facility and the headquarters are located in Västervik, in southeast Sweden.

The vehicles are built to allow heavy work – construction and logistics – in urban areas during
any season and aim to meet the highest demand in driver safety and environmental standards. Inzile is
verifying a prototype to be used as the original for serial production which is expected to be up and
running in early 2019.

- A CAR MADE of composite materials

Is it possible to build a sustainable car? If you ask the Swedish start-up Uniti, the answer is yes.
Their mission is to make the best cars for the world by balancing the needs of society with an inspired
driving experience.

Uniti’s light-weight electric city cars are made from composite materials and optimised for
energy and resource efficiency, safety, and manufacturing scalability. The cars will provide a modernised
user experience, combining premium design and high quality with affordability.

A crowdfunded success Uniti started as an open innovation research project at Lund University that
focused on finding ways to improve the societal and environmental impact of mobility. The aim was to
build a product and company that reflected what society wanted the next generation of automotive to be.
Uniti started a crowdfunding campaign that brought in over 1,000 investors from 27 countries. It’s safe to
say that Uniti fills a gap in the market.

The vehicle platform has been designed for modern usage patterns and the era of autonomous
electric mobility. The chassis are composite-based and the vehicles are enabled by partnerships with
Siemens and others.

The next major milestone for Uniti is the launch of two production intent models, scheduled for 2019.

- REPLACING TODAYS’ SMALLER motorised transport

Velove’s Armadillo cargo cycle is a manifestation of the company’s mission: to offer ultra-
efficient transport solutions that will replace vans and cars being used for small deliveries and short trips.
Velove has developed a city container solution for its own cargo cycle, the Armadillo.

The Armadillo has been called ‘a mix of a go-kart, bicycle and van’ and its size makes
it driveable on bike paths without causing problems for cyclists. The bike only uses 6 per cent of the
electricity needed by a small electric van when doing the same deliveries, and only uses 7 per cent of the
resources of a small van (steel, aluminium, lithium, plastics, et cetera) when produced.

Logistics is an increasing challenge in bigger cities, where increased congestion and motor
vehicle regulations result in decreased productivity. Simultaneously, delivery demand is skyrocketing due
to a rise in e-commerce and fast delivery promises.

‘Simply electrifying is not going to be enough. If we stick to the same resourceand energy-
demanding vehicles, we will most likely not reach the target of 50 per cent greenhouse gas mitigation
from transport by 2025,’ says Johan Erlandsson, CEO of Velove.

Using smaller vehicle for last mile delivery and first mile pickup of small goods is one partial solution.

‘The Armadillo can’t replace all car, van and heavy truck trips, and shouldn’t. Its strengths are
especially noticeable on shorter distances and with smaller amounts of cargo. This is, however, enough to
replace a lot of today’s motorised transport,’ Erlandsson says.

5. THE FUTURE of shareconomy

Swedes have gotten used to different mobility-as-aservice platforms for traveling. Within a
foreseeable future, we will see most new vehicles equipped with technology necessary for smooth sharing
services. Like a roaming service, travellers will be able to plug into any transport mode in any part of the
country via a single subscription.

- COMBINED MOBILITY in small towns and rural areas

Services such as car sharing, bicycle rental and taxi-like services are increasing in Swedish cities.
However, most small towns and rural areas still lack these kinds of services. The pre-study KomILand
(Swedish for ‘come ashore’) reviews opportunities to bring combined mobility services into these areas.
 Different types of mobility services in small towns and rural areas would reduce the need to
travel by or own a car to access both larger cities and the services smaller towns have to offer. Besides
reducing fossil fuel emissions and the number of cars travelling into the cities, combined mobility
services such as car pooling and shopping trip pickups also translate into increased accessibility for all
citizens – especially vulnerable groups such as the elderly, who might otherwise find it difficult to get to
stores, social activities and appointments.

The purpose of the pre-study was to lay the foundation for future pilot projects by providing data
on locations, users, services and financing. The pre-study also provides valuable knowledge in terms of
the challenges and opportunities involved in aligning the interests of several stakeholders.

The results show that mobility services can contribute profitability, attract new commercial
mobility stakeholders to rural areas, while also reducing the cost of travel and the cost of accessing goods
and services for customers. In a broader perspective, the study also shows that these services can generate
new customers to the public transport operators and can lead to increased sustainability for society,
provided there is a robust and qualitative public transport system at the core. Public transport is a
prerequisite for profitable mobile services as they are built around the existing public transport as means
of increasing alternative transportation solutions and decreasing the need of privately-owned cars.

The pre-study was conducted in cooperation with the Västra Götaland region and the
municipality of Skaraborg, the Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute (VTI), RISE
Viktoria, UbiGo, the Swedish Environmental Research Institute (IVL) and the Swedish Transport
Administration. 40 05_SHARECONOMY 41 05_SHA

- ATTRACTIVE AND SUSTAINABLE urban mobility

Imagine if you could pay for your travel and transport needs as one single service. And only pay
for it when you’re actually using it. UbiGo is a pioneer in what is called Mobility as a Service (MaaS) – a
popular trend in many countries.

UbiGo offers urban households mobility subscriptions as an easier and more sustainable
alternative to owning a car. Public transport, car rental and car sharing, taxi and bikes – depending on the
subscriber’s needs any given minute, hour, day, week, month. Everything is available in one app, and
everything is on a single bill for the entire household.

UbiGo was developed and tested as part of the two-year project Go:smart, headed by Lindholmen
Science Park and involving a dozen partners from industry, academia and the public sector. The service
was tested in a very successful pilot in Gothenburg involving 70 families and is now launching in
Stockholm in cooperation with service providers such as SL (regional public transport), Cabonline (taxi)
and Hertz (car rental).
