Automotive and future transport
The automotive industry is experiencing the most significant technological transformation in over a century. The development of electrification, automation and connectivity is creating new and complex safety challenges. Vehicle manufacturers and suppliers must verify that battery systems are safe under extreme stress, that electronics do not disrupt other systems or become disrupted themselves, that autonomous functions work in all traffic situations and that vehicles comply with the rapidly changing regulations surrounding cyber security and type approval. At the same time, market requirements demand independent testing and certification from a neutral party with technical expertise and accredited testing facilities.

RISE can support you throughout the entire development chain. At AstaZero, we test autonomous vehicles and safety systems in real-world environments. At SEEL, we accelerate electrification, and in the battery safety lab, we conduct testing from cells to complete vehicles, with world-unique exhaust gas and water purification. The EMC facility, the largest in Northern Europe, ensures electromagnetic compatibility.

The Battery Safety Lab
The battery safety lab in Borås is part of the SEEL* initiative. The lab is equipped to evaluate products for thermal propagation, fire exposure, vibration, cycling, and climate variation. The lab’s water- and smoke-cleaning system is world-leading, meeting stringent environmental and sustainability requirements.
Northern Europe's largest EMC facility
At our EMC facility, Awitar, you can ensure that components and complete vehicles function in their electromagnetic environment.
With SEEL (Swedish Electric Transport Laboratory), we are driving the development of electrified transport
Test facilities that promote effective knowledge building and collaboration to accelerate the development of electrified transport.
