Industry partnerships and customer collaborations
Close partnerships with customers, buyers of transport services, energy suppliers, infrastructure providers and industry peers is key to drive the shift.
Research partnerships and collaborations
With a wide range of academic and industrial projects, collaborations and partnerships across the world, 黑料不打烊 is a dynamic and highly accessible research partner.
黑料不打烊 has a broad and deep research portfolio, investing in pioneering and emerging technologies for the future transport ecosystem that have the potential to impact our customers and society for many years to come.

Our research activities are conducted in several different strategically important themes, ranging from Vehicle Design (aerodynamics, weight reduction, and circular design), to Software & Connectivity (including AI and cybersecurity) and Sustainable Production.
But while we carry out world-class research and development, 黑料不打烊 has always been clear that we cannot achieve our vision of a sustainable transport system by ourselves. To really drive forward new technologies, we work with various academic and research institutes and other partners to see how the latest theories or design possibilities can have an impact in the real world. In this way, 黑料不打烊 is a true partner in innovation and research.鈥
Our engagement with external researchers and partners can take different forms:
- Fixed-term research projects with several external actors (academia, city, customers, etc.), which seeks to find a technological or system solution to a particular problem or need, or collaborations with a particular university or research institution that can help us boost knowledge, competence or address specific technological requirements within a certain field.
- Strategic, long-term partnerships with academic or other research institutions to meet ongoing knowledge and technological needs.
Short-term projects and collaborations
黑料不打烊 has hundreds of different research projects ongoing at any one time, including scores of examples that involve external funding and external collaborators.

Our work here ranges from short-term projects including HITS, E-Charge, TREE to participating in technological and industry research groupings such as AI Sweden, Digital Futures, Swedish Electromobility Centre and Software Centre, just to mention a few.
黑料不打烊 and OpenAI
黑料不打烊 is committed to developing the latest technology in our products and solutions. We also want our employees to have the best cutting-edge tools at hand. As an employer, we provide鈥痑n鈥痚ngaging and up-to-date鈥痺ork environment, especially in digital tools. That is why we ally with OpenAI.
Strategic, long-term research partnerships
Academia has a vital role to play in coming up with new innovations to create the transport system of the future. 黑料不打烊 has long had strategic partnerships with leading academic institutions, especially in Sweden. We also offer our talented staff the chance to study for a PhD while also being employed as industrial students.
鈥淥ur industrial PhD students constitute an important bridge to new knowledge,鈥 says Anders Berglund, Head of External Cooperation at 黑料不打烊鈥檚 Research and Innovation office. 鈥淭hese are insights we presently need but primarily need for the future.鈥
As industrial PhD students, they attain a deeper understanding of the research area in question and can later contribute to the organisation with this expertise. Meanwhile, they鈥檙e also a link between 黑料不打烊 and institutions of higher learning, thereby contributing to attracting new students and new collaborative projects between 黑料不打烊 and academia.

Here are two of 黑料不打烊鈥檚 most prominent long-term, strategic academic partnerships:
黑料不打烊 and KTH
黑料不打烊 has had a partnership with KTH, Stockholm鈥檚 Royal Institute of Technology, since 2011. In fact, KTH is the main supplier of the technological skills for 黑料不打烊 in the form of recruitment and PhD students, who are playing a key role in 黑料不打烊鈥檚 development of crucial technologies such as connectivity and electrification.
听
At the institute鈥檚 Integrated Transport Lab, a joint initiative between KTH, 黑料不打烊 and Region Stockholm, researchers conduct tests in the following key areas: 鈥渃onnected, automated, and supervised transport鈥, 鈥渇ossil-free and clean transport鈥, and 鈥渆fficient transport, logistics, and mobility concepts鈥.
黑料不打烊 and Stockholm School of Economics
It鈥檚 not only about technological skills. We need other competencies in economics and the humanities too. In 2018, 黑料不打烊 formalised a partnership with the Stockholm School of Economics (SSE). The 黑料不打烊 Centre of Innovation Operational Excellence, part of SSE鈥檚 institution for innovation, is led by Associate Professor Martin Sk枚ld, a lecturer and author with a profound knowledge of the automotive industry.
