MORR™ : An International Comparisons Review
Sweden
Haworth et al stated that in Sweden, the operational strategy of Vision Zero includes a move to public authorities applying quality assurance principles to work-related travel. ‘Quality assurance of transport aims to ensure that people and goods arrive at the right place, at the right time and in the right way (i.e. without danger of serious injury or damage to the goods or the environment)’. Thus there is a linking of road safety and environmental outcomes. There is an emphasis on ensuring the quality of outsourced transport as well as the use of company vehicles.
The Swedish approach to vehicle safety in fleets focuses more on the rated crashworthiness of vehicles, rather than a specific list of safety features. In this way it differs from the general approach in Australia and the United States.
