HCT DUO DEMO - Logistics & system effects and traffic Safety

The HCT Duo Demo includes pilot tests of transport with HCT vehicles between the Hallsberg terminal and logistics areas in the Örebro region. It is a 30 meter long vehicle with three axles and two trailers. New technology and new designs are being tested to create better knowledge and basis for rule changes in connection with the introduction of longer vehicles in Sweden. 

The main purpose of the project is to carry out an analysis regarding logistics and system effects both on subsystems and the entire multimodal transport chain between the Port of Gothenburg and the Örebro region. The project will also provide the basis for the production of basic data for HCT vehicles to be implemented in the environmental calculation calculation tool NTM CalC. In the project, an investigation into how unprotected road users (cyclists) are affected by the longer vehicle train will also be carried out. This through pilot tests on the stretch Örebro – Garphyttan.
