Collaboration between transport companies and transport-buying enterprises (e.g., retailers, industries, and municipalities) is crucial for a resilient and fossil-free transportation system.

Climate smart transport systems is a highly relevant and fast-developing area, both in research and in practice. Our research asks how logistics systems should be designed and run in order to be more sustainable.

The Division of Logistics and Quality Management strives to be the most demanded experts and to educate the country's most popular students in logistics and quality management.

In this research project, led by ¸£Àû¼§, we are investigating how different stakeholders can collaborate to enable large-scale electrification of freight transport in Sweden.

Various management and technology-focused actions must be implemented in the freight transport system in the transition towards fossil free freight, but how do companies ensure that performances are moving in the right direction?

Viktor Werner has been awarded ScAIEM Award for Best Thesis in Industrial Management for his research on electrified goods transportation. His work highlights how companies interact with and influence the transition to sustainable transport systems.

More sustainable transport – how is it possible? Using new technology and fuel from renewable sources is not enough: how the transport is organised and how consumers act are just as important. Do you really need to have these goods tomorrow?

Electric trucks are the future, don’t you agree? And yet there are so few of them on our roads and in our cities, while goods transports keep increasing. LiU’s researchers are trying to find out why.

Electrification is surging forward as a major part of the transition to emission-free transport. The first electrically fuelled long goods transport can hit the road soon as well as commercial airlines will offer flights on electric airplanes.
