The Circular Car

The Circular Car

Transport accounts for almost a third of Sweden's greenhouse gas emissions and the car industry has ambitious targets to reduce the emissions. The project Circular Car project aims to support new and established actors in the work of jointly accelerating the circular transition of the automotive industry.

The Circular Car project, including committed actors from the entire value chain in the automotive industry, will accelerate the circular transition. With a systems perspective, the actors will, through new knowledge, foresight, knowledge transfer, tests and evaluations, produce relevant measures and action plans for a more circularly adapted car fleet 2045.

The project includes work packages such as foresight and trends, policy and regulations, circular economy business ecosystem, user mapping and analysis, design for longer life, disassembly for remanufacturing and environmental assessment.
