Advancing EV Battery Optimization Through Decentralized AI

Cognivity AI Launches Swedish–American Collaboration on Next-Generation Battery Intelligence A new Swedish–American collaboration aims to address some of the most fundamental challenges in electric vehicle battery diagnostics. By moving from static, rule-based Battery Management Systems (BMS) toward decentralized AI deployed directly on the battery system, Sweden’s Cognivity AI is collaborating with a California-based luxury EV manufacturer to explore how intelligent battery software can improve performance, safety, and battery lifetime while maintaining data privacy.

50% Less CO₂ and 53% Lighter: Transatlantic Partnership Unlocks Unprecedented Climate Savings for Urban Transport

A new study from the transatlantic research project "Twinshift" reveals that the future of clean manufacturing relies on a dual approach: smarter structural design combined with responsible material sourcing. Led by Swedish design-tech innovator STILFOLD and U.S.-based California Metals, the initiative has successfully engineered a commercial cargo bike chassis that boasts a staggering 53% weight reduction, a 50% decrease in its carbon footprint, and a massive 20x CO₂ multiplier effect when scaled to heavy transport—all achieved using a process that consumes just 12 kWh per chassis.

Standardizing Safety: New US-Swedish Collaboration Tackles Automotive Radar Interference

As vehicles become increasingly automated, the density of onboard radar sensors is rising. A new transatlantic project, MeTARI, aims to solve the growing risk of radar signal congestion by developing the industry’s first harmonized method for testing automotive radar interference.

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...
