Vehicles, Fuels and Information
Introducing clean vehicles and fuels and gathering, processing and presenting trasport data are two important tasks of Trendsetter Stockholm. The aim is to help companies, organisations and citizens to find sustainable transport alternatives.
Stockholm has the political support for making its transport system even more environmentally compatible by substituting conventional vehicles with clean ones and making logistic services more effective. More effective and attractive public transport means combined with intelligent traffic information techniques are other important fields.
The biggest problems today include an increasing number of vehicles, congestion on many principal roads, heavy duty traffic, limited rail track capacity and a low cycling frequency. Moreover there are problems with the air quality in inner city areas especially due to a high concentration of NOx, particulate matter and noise levels.

- Implement push/pull measures to create a market for clean vehicles
- Improve logistics in goods transport
- Improve traffic flow by innovative means such as adaptive signals and trip planning
- Increase the attractiveness of public transport

Many of the city's activities are directed towards commercial traffic and heavy-duty vehicles.
