The project addresses the societal challenge of effectively converting to electrified heavy road transports. TREE focuses on the Swedish forest industry, which comprises 20 % of Sweden's heavy road transports. To make the conversion to fossil-free transports, a system change is needed. The change includes new business models, new logistics planning and technology.
The overall goal of the project is to contribute to ensuring that 50 % of the forest industry's new trucks are electrified by 2030. To accomplish this, a system demonstrator distributed over seven sites is planned. The project is coordinated by Skogforsk – the Forestry Research Institute of Sweden and run in collaboration with the network Closer at Lindholmen Science Park and funded by the Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation Systems.
