Green Highway – a fossil-fuel-free transport corridor

Green Highway is a partnership between the three municipalities of Sundsvall,
Östersund and Trondheim. This partnership stretches 450 km, through three regions
and two countries, from Sundsvall in Sweden to Trondheim in Norway. The project is
part of the EU programme Interreg Sweden-Norway and financed by the European
Regional Development Fund. Green Highway is also supported by partners and
stakeholders in the region.

The aim is to create a fossil-fuel-free corridor, as well as to demonstrate that
investments in green technology boost the economy and contribute to sustainable
growth and reduced environmental impact. In extension, this may mean emission-
free destinations that are attractive to both residents and tourists.

The region produces a significant proportion of renewable energy through wind
power and hydropower, there is also production of biogas which means there is
great potential for a sustainable transport system. Green Highway has also been
highlighted as a prioritized test route for electric vehicles by the infrastructure
ministers of Norway and Sweden.

By disseminating information, participating in a range of processes and acting as a
network hub, Green highway is helping to create the right conditions for a renewable
and energy efficient transport corridor in Mid Scandinavia.
