"GREEN" PROGNOSIS * Sweden - Truck transportation to become climate neutral
Stockholm,Sweden -Easier (UK) -16 November 2007: -- Volvo Trucks is taking part in a project for CO2-neutral transport together with the Centre for Environment and Sustainability (GMV), a network organisation at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Preem Petroleum AB (the largest oil company in Sweden), Schenker (one of the world's leading providers of integrated logistics services) and Vägverket (the Swedish Road Administration)... Increased transport on the roads has so far always led to added emissions of carbon dioxide and greater climate impact. Yet now this trend needs to be cut short... The major points were :
* Each party’s efforts to increase fuel efficient driving will be intensified. Starting in 2008, Vägverket will increase the demands for fuel efficient driving on all those aiming to take their driving licence.
* By partly replacing crude oil with biomass at the refining stage and by increasing blends of RME and diesel, the amount of renewable fuels will increase.
*The conditions required for increasing the length of load carriers beyond today’s 25.25 metres, as a means of reducing carbon dioxide emissions, will be investigated.
*The participating parties are also preparing a joint project where the various improvements will be tested in practice.
