Heavy On-road | SIX Sustainable Industry X

1/2

Vision

In 2035, Finland's heavy on-road transport will be sustainable (people, profit, planet) and lead the way also on a global level. It enables completely new value across the entire value network.

Jointly enable the realization of company-specific and broader 'digital green' goals. The cluster enables to solve heavy and time-consuming challenges together with industrial and research actors, in an efficient way utilizing a common maintainable roadmap.

Objectives

Enabling the continuous availability of the skills needed by companies by jointly identifying the future competence needs and focus areas of the sector, developing training based on them and sharing information between the actors.

Together we will enable better visibility of heavy on-road sector operators in Finland and around the world, so that we can build a more favourable operating environment for us. Jointly influence funding, standards and other decision-making.

Sustainable business

By 2035, electricity will have become the most cost-competitive solution in most use cases. Business and market bottlenecks have been eliminated and electrification is scaling up strongly. Fast charging up to MW level is common, and the management of vehicle operations and energy supply are integrated. New innovative pricing and service models have enabled entirely new ways of operating and enabling value creation.

Zero emission system

In 2035, fully electric, carbon-neutral vehicles will be widely used in road transport, partly driven by new regulations and incentives. A critical charging infrastructure has been built, which enables electric operation in fairly large areas. Digital product passports are in use. Zero emissions of products also include zero emissions from transport, and the assessment and definition of the total carbon footprint brings added value to customers.

Customer & human in the loop

In 2035, environmental and sustainability impacts have become selection criteria in procurement and operator selections. They also guide the development of operations and provide operators with a competitive advantage. Taking environmental impacts into account is built into all operations.

Assistance extends to the entire operation, within which there are also autonomous functions. Devices and systems assist people in completing the task, improving efficiency, safety and quality. New meaningful jobs increase the attractiveness of the sector and contribute to the availability of sufficient labour in terms of quantity and quality.
