Sweden Talks: Fossil-free future

Transforming transport through collaboration

How can competitors collaborate for climate action? Fossil Free Sweden is a national initiative to make Sweden the first fossil-free nation in the world. 22 different industries have produced their own roadmaps to show how they can enhance their competitiveness by going fossil free or climate neutral. The roadmaps show the opportunities, identify obstacles and contain proposals for solutions. Taken together, they show what a fossil free business sector will be like.

The trade organisation Mobility Sweden is responsible for the process of implementing the roadmap where 50 percent of newly registered lorries will be powered by electricity in 2030. Emissions from heavy transport accounts for about a third of the climate emissions of road traffic. Meet Emmi Antonsson to learn how the transport sector is collaborating for the climate.

Fossil Free Sweden is an initiative by the Swedish Government to increase the pace of the climate transition. The goal is to build a strong industrial sector and to create more jobs and export opportunities by going fossil free. By working together with companies, industries, municipalities and regions, Fossil Free Sweden is identifying obstacles and opportunities to accelerate developments

Emmi Antonsson is head of communication and public affairs at Mobility Sweden.
