The Green Highway is a joint project by Sundsvall, Östersund and Trondheim municipalities to develop a fossil-free transport corridor.

In total there are over 170 electric charging stations along the highway, a number that is growing steadily each year as the number of electric cars increases. Around 140 000 kWh of electricity was used to charge electric cars during 2015, which the project partners say is equivalent to the annual consumption of ten normal homes.
