Abstract
Transports of timber in forest operations are a dominating part of the total work input. These transports from the sites of the trees to various points of manufacture in Sweden amount in some instances to over 2000 million tonne-kilometres per year, or equivalent to transporting 5000 tonnes 10 times around the earth.
