  • Lindholm Spotlight
    Introduction Maria Lindholm has always focused on logistics and transportation, but with a specific interest in urban freight transport, as both consultant (e.g. WSP group) and as a researcher at Chalmers University of Technology (with the PhD title: ”Enabling sustainable development of urban freight from a local authority perspective”). Currently, Maria is working as a project manager and research coordinator at Lindholmen Science Park AB in Gothenburg. Maria’s research at Chalmers have focused on solutions for urban freight, e.g. electric vehicles, logistics solutions, regulation, incentives and soft measures such as awareness raising and improving knowledge of stakeholders. Maria have performed research in the area of sustainable urban freight transport, transport policy and the interaction between local authorities and transport operators, with a special interest in freight quality partnerships. Maria is chairing the local freight partnership in Gothenburg and have amongst other things led the work to develop a national roadmap for urban freight transport in Sweden. Professional Background 2012 – present Lindholmen Science Park AB/CLOSER Project management of Urban mobility projects. Responsible for research partners.

  • Sustainable Transport and Mobility Solutions Explore Smart and Sustainable Transport and Mobility Solutions
    Sustainable transport and mobility solutions Explore smart and sustainable transport and mobility solutions. Green Gothenburg – a part of Smart City Sweden. GOTHENBURG GREEN CITY ZONE Gothenburg Green City Zone is a zone where new technology for both vehicles and infrastructure is tested. The aim is to achieve 100 per cent emission-free transports by 2030, in a functioning infrastructure that enables climate-neutral transportation choices and facilitates everyday life for businesses as well as residents and visitors, in an attractive urban environment. With Gothenburg Green City Zone, Gothenburg will become the first region in the world to develop fully zero-emission as well as scalable transportation solutions at the system level. And everyone is welcome to join in! The initiative was taken jointly by the City of Gothenburg (through Business Region Göteborg), Volvo Cars, and RISE Research Institutes of Sweden. It also involves Chalmers University of Technology, the School of Business, Economics and Law at the University of Gothenburg, the Swedish Exhibition and Congress Centre, the City of Mölndal and Johanneberg Science Park. AUTOMATION Automation is the process of enabling vehicles to operate independently, without human contact. Examples include drones and self-driving cars. Automated technology is already being used in vehicles today in the form of active safety systems and increased automation will improve traffic safety even more. It also has the potential to improve traffic management flows and reduce congestion. More information The test site AstaZero The research facility Revere World leading testing facility for vehicle safety systems and automated driving AstaZero is the world’s first full-scale independent test site for future safety on the road.
