Lahti is addressing its biggest climate challenge—road transport emissions—by developing a Sustainable Urban Logistics Plan through co-design with the logistics sector. With 42% of road transport emissions stemming from heavy vehicles, the city is advancing electrification by identifying charging infrastructure needs and piloting new business models. By combining policy innovation, data analysis, and stakeholder engagement, Lahti is laying the groundwork for a smooth, fair transition to zero-emission logistics and building scalable tools for other cities to follow.
