Breakfast with FFI: The forest industry is driving the transition to sustainable transportation

Organised by: FFI - Fordonsstrategisk forskning och innovation
Digitalt Fri 15 Sep 2023 at 08:30-09:45

The forest industry is the largest transport buyer in Sweden, and thus has a central role in the transition to a sustainable transport system. Welcome to a digital breakfast where we are inspired by the forest industry's future visions and get concrete examples of how we can work with sustainable transportation.

Digital breakfast meeting about the forest industry's objective, challenges and opportunities linked to transportation. How does the industry see the transition, and what good examples do we see today in electrification, efficiency and increased use of fossil-free fuels?

As the largest transport buyer in Sweden, the forest industry has a central role in the transition to a sustainable transport system. In the industry's investments, both efficiency improvement and the creation of new conditions for sustainable solutions are noticeable. Which steps are most central and what is most urgent?

We also get to learn more about three completely different FFI project, but which all intend to change the transports.

As a participant, you of course also have the opportunity to ask questions about both challenges and opportunities!

Thematic breakfast meetings with FFI

In 2022, FFI launched a new roadmap with the five sub-programmes Accelerate, Circularity, Zero Emissions, Traffic Safe Automation and Transport and Mobility Services. With that focus, we want to more clearly meet today's complex societal challenges, and further gear up the work for a total transformation of road transport and the automotive industry.

With the help of breakfast meetings, FFI together with you wants to raise thematic issues, discuss critical success factors and spread inspiring examples. We look forward to jointly discussing what is needed to accelerate the transition!

Sometimes we photograph or video record our activities. If you don't want to participate in photos or videos, please let us when you arrive.
