New Innovation Project: Translating European ERS Experience to the North American Heavy-Duty Market
The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PTC), RISE Research Institutes of Sweden, Elonroad, and Michael Baker International have launched a strategic project to develop planning and decision support aids for tollway operators considering investments in Electric Road Systems (ERS). Jointly funded by Vinnova, the Swedish Energy Agency and the industry partners, this project within the Future Mobility initiative combines Swedish ERS technology and research expertise with U.S. tollway operator and infrastructure expertise. The economic case for electric trucks is weaker in the U.S. context than in...
How a New Innovation Project is Tackling the Auto Industry's Prototype Paralysis
As AI rapidly moves into the physical world across vehicles, robotics, and autonomous systems, traditional development models are struggling to keep up. Software development for robotics and vehicle applications is too often constrained by late hardware availability, fragmented toolchains, and limited access to realistic test environments. This bottleneck slows down the pace of deploying embedded AI at scale. In this innovation project, RemotiveLabs AB and Arm are joining forces to demonstrate a scalable digital twin approach that allows teams to develop, test, and validate next-generation...
Solar On the Pavement: The Swedish–American Quest to Turn Highways, Ports, Airports, and Bus Stations into Power Plants
In the global race to decarbonize heavy transport, the road has always been the problem: a vast, expensive, and passive stretch of asphalt that demands constant maintenance while offering nothing in return. But a Swedish-American collaboration is now turning that logic on its head.
Swedish-American Innovation Sprint: New SEK 15M Fund Targets Global Mobility and Societal Resilience
A new funding call, "Deepened International Collaborations for Healthy and Resilient Societies," is now officially open. Managed by Vinnova, Sweden's innovation agency, the initiative offers strategic grants to bridge the Atlantic, fostering long-term partnerships that address the most pressing crises of the 21st century: health stability, climate-secure food systems, and civil defense. The call closes on June 15.
