The aim of Corridor as a Service is to achieve more efficient and safer logistics. That may be reached through digital services and digitalization of the logistics chain, multimodal goods transport and new innovations in the vehicle or at infrastructure focusing on how to serve international logistics more effectively. These new value adding services may improve logistics especially from a Scandinavian point of view, but also international commerce in the larger scale. While CaaS development is driven by companies, the public sector enables the development. For customers CaaS aims to provide new value adding logistics services, which will improve the efficiency and productivity of the services. These services focus on transparency and tracking of logistics chains, privilege driving in certain points such as customs and safety and security issues of logistic. It is being estimated that CaaS may bring at least 10 % productivity improvements and significant fuel savings. In the future, CaaS services will be additionally with the artificial intelligence capabilities.
