Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity.

SDG 15 – Life on land

Current transport systems are degrading terrestrial ecosystems. Future practices need to integrate sustainable factors in early planning of infrastructural development to ensure a sustainable life on land.

Improving the efficiency and sustainability of logistic systems is a complex task. This is particularly true in cities, where shippers and carriers face a range of unique challenges ranging from road congestion to increased customer expectations around speed and flexibility. At Scania, we believe that technology and partnership are key to solving these problems. That is why we created HITS– a project harnessing innovation and collaboration to accelerate the transition to a sustainable, circular and efficient urban freight transport system. The project is funded by Swedish public innovation agency Vinnova and coordinated by transport platform CLOSER. The first phase of the project explores how sustainable logistic systems can be created and scaled up, and the role technologies such as automation and digitalisation can play in this.
