This chapter summarizes the Swedish Roadmap for high capacity transport (HCT) that Swedish stakeholders developed during the period September 2012 to April 2013 in order to initiate the steps needed for an introduction of HCT vehicles on a broader basis within Sweden. The introduction of HCT requires development of HCT vehicles, customization of the infrastructure to cope with HCT vehicles, adaptation of legislation and regulations and systems for monitoring compliance. The chapter describes the developments within different innovation domains: infrastructure adaptation, information systems, HCT logistics, HCT vehicle combinations and rules and regulations as well as recommendations for the steps to follow. The long‐term goal is that HCT may have approached its' potential to reduce energy use, reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and increased transport efficiency by 2030. With the gradual introduction of HCT the roadmap should be updated within 3 years.
