Together with representatives from NDW, Rijkswaterstaat, and the Province of Gelderland, we spent three days exploring how Sweden is advancing smart mobility, digitalisation, and collaboration within the mobility ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tripservice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_3591-edited-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Shuttlebus Zweden\" class=\"wp-image-4413\" style=\"width:158px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tripservice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_3591-edited-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.tripservice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_3591-edited-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/www.tripservice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_3591-edited-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/www.tripservice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_3591-edited-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.tripservice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_3591-edited-450x600.jpeg 450w, https:\/\/www.tripservice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_3591-edited-750x1000.jpeg 750w, https:\/\/www.tripservice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_3591-edited-1237x1650.jpeg 1237w, https:\/\/www.tripservice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_3591-edited-1500x2000.jpeg 1500w, https:\/\/www.tripservice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_3591-edited-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sweden is making tangible progress. This was evident, for example, at V\u00e4sttrafik, where an autonomous shuttle bus is already a visible part of the streetscape. Not science fiction, but a practical pilot with realistic ambitions. The visit to Lindholmen Science Park was also inspiring. With programmes like Drive Sweden, AI Sweden, and MobilityXlab, you see how government, academia, and business are innovating together \u2013 for instance, in areas like digital twins and AI applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, it was clear that Sweden grapples with the same challenges we do: organising sustainable urban logistics, engaging end-users, and managing data and governance. That shared experience makes knowledge exchange even more valuable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"766\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tripservice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_3611-1024x766.jpeg\" alt=\"Zweden ledenreis\" class=\"wp-image-4406\" style=\"width:313px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tripservice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_3611-1024x766.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tripservice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_3611-300x224.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.tripservice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_3611-768x575.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.tripservice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_3611-1536x1149.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.tripservice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_3611-2048x1532.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.tripservice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_3611-600x449.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.tripservice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_3611-1000x748.jpeg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For us, the true strength of this trip was in the conversations. By combining in-depth site visits \u2013 to World of Volvo, Business Region G\u00f6teborg, and Ericsson \u2013 with time for dialogue among peers, we gained new depth. Not earth-shattering revelations, but meaningful confirmations, fresh perspectives, and tangible opportunities for collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udd17 Curious about the role of digital platforms and real-time data in urban mobility?
