Large infrastructure projects in general and road transportation in particular has significant environmental impacts. However, these typical change fast with the introduction of new technologies. The development of E-39 is scheduled in the middle of a rapid change in vehicle technologies. These changes will significantly influence the overall environmental impacts from the E-39 program. In order to address their importance, they should be accounted for in an early phase of the development so that decision making can be based on a more reliable grounds. Only in this manner can we secure that selection of the best projects, and that the projects are done right.

A pressing concern is the need for a tool that can calculate the environmental impacts from infrastructure developments in various scenarios for the future concerning both vehicle technology and climate change.
