2010-02-23
Olofsfors joins The Vision Zero Initiative, the vision and concept for efficient and traffic safe road solutions, founded on the initiative by the Swedish Government. The focus in Vision Zero is to use solutions and methods that increase traffic safety and still increase the efficiency of the infrastructure.
“We are happy about being a part of this initiative to decrease serious traffic accidents. Sustainable solutions are a crucial mindset in everything we are working with at Olofsfors. The development of our cutting edge system for winter road maintenance has always been focused on the result on the road and the safety of the road users.” says Göran Sjöström, Business Manager wear steel at Olofsfors.
The cutting edge system for winter road maintenance with motor graders and snow plows, developed and supplied by Olofsfors, is a powerful tool-box to obtain safer winter roads. This is achieved in a number of ways. Increased road surface friction and higher productivity is some of the gains of using the Olofsfors system.
Other companies that have joined the Vision Zero Initiative are Volvo group, Sweco and more.

Olofsfors is also producing wear steel for construction and mining machinery that last longer and increase the payload of buckets etc. By obtaining increased payload of e.g. buckets an increased productivity and decreased fuel consumption and CO2 pollution can be obtained. In forest machinery Olofsfors has developed the concept of tracks for rubber tire wheels that decrease the impact on nature in forestry, increase productivity and re-growth. The Olofsfors ECO-Tracks is today the golden standard globally in sustainable forestry.
