Towards Sustainable and Equitable Mobility
The Volvo Research and Educational Foundations (VREF) inspire, initiate and support research and educational activities for the purpose of contributing to new ideas and solutions for developing sustainable and equitable mobility and access in cities.
About us
VREF operate as an independent entity. Our overriding goal is to strengthen accessibility for all groups while at the same time radically reduce negative local and global environmental impacts of transportation. Through the ”Future Urban Transport (FUT) – How to Deal With Complexity” program we fund research and education within five thematic programs, shown below.
