Electromobility laboratory for Sweden

A commitment to build a testbed supporting electrified transportation

First HEV (Series Hybrid)ICE/generator, lead acid battery and wheel hub motors

Jacob Lohner & Co, 1899.

Development engineer: Ferdinand Porsche

Why electro mobility

Growing cities

Peak Oil Global Warming

New technology

Bio fuel will cover

~30% of the need

W/O competing with

food, forests or

Livestock

If energy is very cheap we

can make fuels if not..

Energy will be in focus

E-mob are the most energy

efficient propulsion system

available

I wonder if

land transport

should get the

bio fuels

Global “race” in electromobility

Sweden will take on the challange!

Why now

Why Sweden

Strong car development history

How

• Setup similar to Astazero

• Additional partners might join

• Ambition to have a research school connected to the laboratory

• Time Plan for facilities 3-4 years with sequential start of use for lab modules

Target products

• Electrified gearboxes and drivetrain for different vehicles

• Components, systems and complete hybrid and electrified vehicles

• Charging systems

• Enabling cloud connected control for e.g. thermal management

Main facility in Göteborg / Lindholmen
