Projects in electromobility

In the previous project, we developed and demonstrated a modular battery replacement system for electric-powered agricultural and forestry machinery. In this project, we want to build on the results to take the ecosystem around the battery replacement system step by step towards the market.

European energy data space

The rapid electrification of the vehicle fleet presents new challenges for the power grid – but also new opportunities. By mapping where EV owners live, how they drive, and who can benefit from V2X technology, this project generates insights to support a more flexible and data-driven energy system.

Developing an Optical Torque Transducer and a Physics-Based Digital Twin for Rotary and Dynamic Torque Measurement.

The parallel transformation of industry and ports poses challenges for energy supply, charging infrastructure, and transport integration. Oxelösund, with SSAB’s shift to fossil-free production, its port, and energy system, offers an ideal testbed for system-level solutions. This is a feasibility st…

The project aims to test and verify the potential of High Capacity Transport (HCT) vehicles in urban traffic, using both conventional combustion engines and BEV trucks, in order to improve energy and transport efficiency and contribute to a more sustainable urban environment with fewer heavy vehicl…

Battery housings for heavy trucks face a complex and challenging set of requirements. They must be circular in terms of servicing, upgradability, and material recycling. At the same time, they need to be weatherproof and capable of withstanding mechanical loads. Also, they must be resource-efficien…

The project's goal is to develop, evaluate and compare solutions for joining, disassembly and reassembling joints in battery packs to enable circularity. The project is a collaboration between RISE, Volvo Cars, Polestar, Stena Recycling, Atlas Copco, ABB, Swerim and University West.

ZEvRA will demonstrate a harmonized circularity methodology that allows for interchangeability and replicability throughout Europe. The methodology and manufacturing technologies will be supported by digital tools and validated on a full circular car, integrating 8 prototype components covering 84%…

Sweden's electric car fleet, largely owned by single-family households, has potential to contribute to stabilising the electricity grid through frequency regulation. This project explores driving forces and conditions for single-family households to participate in frequency regulation through V2G a…

In ALPH, new coating and forming methods are devloped to enable the use of aluminum as bipolar plate material for High Temperature Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (HT-PEMFCs). The lightweight metal combined with the higher temperatures enable lighter fuel cells with a simple cooling system …

Next generation technologies for battery systems in transport electrification based on novel design approach to increase performance and reduce carbon footprint.

This project aims to create and evaluate more efficient motor designs with improved field factors and reduced environmental impacts, by exploiting the use of additive manufacturing. This enables higher motor efficiencies and longer lifetimes compared to the state of the art today, leading to 5-10% …

The project works on strategies for the impact of network tariffs and other control signals on demand flexibility and the opportunities with machine-readable control signals, which are a prerequisite for smart vehicle charging.

Making batteries to store clean energy is a dirty process - or was – with NoVOCs unique approach. A consortium of 17 partners will develop manufacturing technology for next-generation lithium-ion batteries, that can eliminate the volatile organic compounds from the lithium-ion b…

Physics and data-based battery management by multi-domain digital twins (BATMAX) sets out to pave the way for advanced next-generation data-based and adaptable battery management systems capable of fulfilling the needs and requirements of various mobile and stationary applications and use cases.
