Genom att använda lastbilar för bygg- och anläggningsprojekt (s.k. anläggningslastbilar) med fler axlar och som är uppkopplade, kan vi öka lastkapaciteten till det dubbla, minska antalet anläggningslastbilar i städer med 50 % och därmed sänka utsläppen med 40 %.

Hypotesen är även att ekonomin för aktörerna förbättras, slitaget på vägarna minskar samt att trafiksäkerheten förbättras.

IVA’s 100 List 2022 - Technology in the Service of Humanity

IVA’s 100 List 2022 highlights a diverse range of research projects from Swedish universities, under the theme Technology in the Service of Humanity. The projects have been selected based on their great potential to create value through commercialization, business and method development, or societal impact. All participating researchers are interested in increased contacts with the business sector for the application and further development of their projects.

Named contact persons for each research project on the 100 List are responsible for the accuracy of the information presented.
