FFI Accelerate

The transport system is facing significant societal challenges in the green transition. This is at the same time as rapid technological advances on various levels. To successfully transition to fossil-free, secure, equal and efficient road transport, stakeholders must work together to identify at an early stage any issues that may otherwise impede the rapid and broad implementation of new solutions. FFI Accelerate is intended to both combine project results from the other sub-programmes and to identify relevant solutions and stakeholders that can contribute to achieving FFI’s overall vision.   

Projects are characterised by following 

• Are challenge-driven and critical to the transition to sustainable road transportation. 
• Are large-scale and demonstrated in a real environment to verify the system effects.
• Have established a strong and broad cooperation throughout the value chain
• Has a high level of technical maturity and has the potential to be implemented within a few years. The focus should be on societal benefit and attainability. 
• Are scalable in a national and international context.
• Have a clear system perspective.
