What will happen next?
Two applications, one for the ETT vehicle, and one for the ST vehicle has been sent to the Swedish authorities. These applications need to be approved for the vehicles to start transporting timber. Without the approvment it’s not possible to continue with the project.

Time table
Sveaskog’s ST-vehicle will start to to transport timber in the beginning of 2013 The ETT-vehicle will start in the end of 2013 Each project is 5 years long.
