2. 1. Sustainable Personal Road Transport : The Role of Electric Vehicles

   Author : Sven Borén; Göran Broman; Henrik Ny; Louise Trygg; Jamil Khan; Blekinge Tekniska Högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Strategic Sustainable Development; Transport Planning; Electric Vehicles; Testing; LCA;

   Abstract : Electric vehicles can play an important role in a future sustainable road transport system and many Swedish politicians would like to see them implemented faster. This is likely desirable to reach the target of a fossil independent vehicle fleet in Sweden by 2030 and a greenhouse gas neutral Swedish society no later than 2050. READ MORE

4. 2. Government's Role for Transport Infrastructure : Theoretical Approaches and Historical Development

   Author : Björn Hasselgren; Göran Cars; Hans Lind; Mark Pennington; KTH; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Government; Market; Planning; Transport Infrastructure;

   Abstract : This thesis analyzes and discusses the development of the Swedish government’s role as owner and financier of roads and railroads from the 1930s until the 2010s. The influence on the development of the government’s role from two main theoretical paradigms is discussed and analyzed. READ MORE

5. 3. Urban freight transport sustainability - the interaction of urban freight and intermodal transport

   Author : Sönke Behrends; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; modal shift; urban sustainability; transport planning; pre- and post haulage; rail freight; sustainable freight transport; Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development; urban freight transport; longer and heavier vehicles; intermodal road-rail transport;

   Abstract : Intermodal road-rail transport (IRRT) has a significant urban dimension that affects the environmental benefits and the modal shift potential of rail freight. A sustainable modal shift, i.e. READ MORE

6. 4. Role of soil organic matter for immobilisation of metals : treatment of leachate from MSWI bottom ashes

   Author : Jurate Kumpiene; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Waste Science and Technology; Avfallsteknik;

   Abstract : In this thesis, the focus is laid on the ability of natural organic matter (OM) to serve as a metal stabilising agent. The metal contaminants investigated arise from the MSWI bottom ash leachate. Besides the high content of metals, elevated pH and salinity are characteristic for ash leachate that, in turn, can alter the functionality of OM. READ MORE

7. 5. Improving energy efficiency in logistics systems: On the road to environmental sustainability

   Author : Jessica Wehner; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; road freight transport; service modularity; service logic; logistics fulfilment; Capacity utilisation; point of consumption; first mile; service blueprint; household waste; distribution structure; system levels; systems perspective; value co-creation; last mile;

   Abstract : Logistics are essential to efficiently managing the flow of materials and products between various nodes that operate in multiple systems. In that process, the activities of moving and storing materials and products, especially through road freight transport, consume significant energy resources and emit greenhouse gases that harm the environment.
