VISION Proud and profitable road transport companies in a sound and attractive market 1
FAIR TRANSPORT Good choices should be profitable for for the buyer and the company selling transportation. Using the concept of Fair Transport we at The Swedish Association of Road Transport Companies want to promote and highlight sound transportation methods from responsible hauliers. Hauliers that drive in a safe manner, think in a climate-smart manner and offer decent working conditions 2
AN IMPORTANT STANDPOINT In order to become part of Fair Transport the haulier must first be a member of the Association of Road Transport Companies. The haulier then undertakes to adopt a number of commitments: WE DRIVE IN A SAFE MANNER Better road safety doesn't only save lives. Better road safety also reduces costs for fuel, goods and vehicle damage. And gives safe delivery. 3
WE DRIVE IN A CLIMATE- SMART MANNER Sustainable transport in the long term demands knowledge and planning. It is not about ending road haulage. It is about smart road haulage. WE ARE RESPONSIBLE A transport service that is based on a lawful, serious and honest business contributes to a healthier haulage industry. That is good for us, our customers and our entire society.
