The project aims to contribute to a regional and national vision to create a world-leading position for Swedish industry in electrified vehicles. The University of Väst wants to realise this vision by creating a competitive infrastructure that offers “open innovation” in a demonstrator and laboratory environment. The project will implement leading research for the application of a more efficient powertrain with sustainable materials linked to the development of the electric vehicles of the future. The activities in the project aim to strengthen knowledge transfer to and between small and medium-sized companies with the aim of identifying and exploiting the opportunities available in electrification that will lead to better competitiveness in the Swedish automotive industry.
