Who is doing what?
Skogforsk is investigating costs, production and fuel consumption. Skogforsk is also carrying out special studies of vibration and environmental impact (CO2 and NOx, etc.)
The Swedish Road Administration is investigating road safety, wear and tear on roads, and impact on bridges. Another important issue is to examine how the general public will react to longer and heavier vehicles.
Haulage vehicle manufacturers, including Volvo, SSAB, Parator, Bergs Fegen and Exte Hiab, have developed the ETT vehicle.
The forestry companies (SCA, Stora Enso, Södra, Holmen and Sveaskog) are hosting the practical studies.
The Swedish Association of Road Haulage Companies is training drivers in road safety and attitude.
Riksförbundet Enskilda Vägar, together with the Swedish Road Administration and Skogforsk, is studying the consequences of heavier vehicles on private roads.
