The effect of grinding roadways using the HTC method is being studied in a unique research project in Sweden.
Mistra Innovation* has awarded HTC's project "Via Futura" a grant of SEK 4 million with the aim of describing the environmental and financial effects of using HTC's grinding technology on asphalt roadways in Sweden. An earlier pilot project showed that grinding reduces both the noise and the rolling resistance to a considerable extent.Uneven road surfaces generate negative effects in the form of noise, both inside and outside the vehicle, as well as by increasing the rolling resistance of the wheels, which in its turn leads to increased fuel consumption. Another undesirable effect of worn
