SEEL’s testbed in Nykvarn for electric heavy duty vehicles officially opened by Andreas Carlson, Minister for Infrastructure and Housing

“The Swedish transport sector is leading the way in a large number of areas, and SEEL boosts efforts to achieve increased sustainability and enhanced competitiveness. The testing and research that will be conducted here at SEEL is extremely important for the transition to an electrified transport system,” says Andreas Carlson, Minister for Infrastructure and Housing.

“We need powerful physical test environments where real technologies can be evaluated, where academic research can be fully utilised for implementable technical solutions in the best interests of society. Through collaboration with a number of actors, we have created such environments in SEEL, a necessity for the transition of the transport sector,” says Anders Palmqvist, Vice President of Research at Chalmers University of Technology.

At SEEL’s testbed in Nykvarn, the focus is on research and testing in the field of battery technology and dynamic testing of electric powertrains for heavy-duty vehicles.

“SEEL consists of three state-of-the-art testbeds in Gothenburg, Nykvarn and Borås. SEEL was recently declared open in Gothenburg, and now it’s time to open the doors in Nykvarn, where we can test batteries, electric axles and electric motors. In Nykvarn, SEEL has its most powerful equipment for testing electric axles for use in areas of application such as trucks, buses or construction machinery,” says Henrik Svenningstorp, CEO of SEEL.
