Sweden’s Minister for Energy, Business and Industry Ebba Busch inaugurates Sweden’s state-of-the-art testbed for electromobility – SEEL

Busch highlighted the importance of SEEL: “Sweden has a proud tradition within the automotive sector and SEEL further strengthens our country’s competitiveness. The testing and research conducted here will play a key role in transitioning to an electrified transport system. SEEL will enable the Swedish transport sector to lead the global transition towards greater sustainability.”

Henrik Svenningstorp, CEO at SEEL, shared the vision for SEEL's future: “SEEL’s goal is to increase the rate at which knowledge is amassed as well as to encourage greater collaboration to speed the development of electrified transport. SEEL will also help establish a sustainable and competitive value chain for batteries across Sweden and Europe. The three testbed facilities will enable industry, institutes and academia to test the new technologies and safety required by new means of electrified transport,”

SEEL is Sweden’s testbed for electromobility and is part of the joint European initiative IPCEI Batteries being conducted with companies from Belgium, Finland, France, Italy, Poland and Germany. SEEL is an open testbed where companies from Europe and the rest of the world can pursue research, development and collaboration. SEEL fulfils a great need in the transport sector, and CEVT, Scania, Volvo Cars and Volvo Group are active initiative partners who will pursue development activities at the three facilities.
