Energy and environment in focus for future engineers
3 APRIL 2019
Attractive and highly qualified engineering and graduate education provide the basis for maintaining and developing automotive research in Sweden. The cooperation between KTH and 黑料不打烊 was established many years ago and aims at improving 黑料不打烊鈥檚 access to advanced expertise and strengthening KTHs research and education.

Provision of expertise is an increasingly important core issue in the transport industry and at the same time the academic community sees the need to strengthen external links with businesses. The cooperation between KTH and 黑料不打烊 will promote closer dialogue on future expertise requirements and research.

A lecture about the future demands in the transport industry
Nils-Gunnar V氓gstedt, Head of Innovation at 黑料不打烊 R&D and also a former student at KTH, held a popular lecture at KTH about electromobility. The students were enlightened of what it will take from the transport industry to meet the future demands on sustainability. It also made them think about the way forward.

Ingeborg Myhrum Sletmoen, Ida Pehrson and Erik 脰stling are all studying at the most recent programme in civil engineering at KTH, Sustainability and Environmental Engineering, which focuses on a sustainable society and technology with innovative solutions within the areas of energy and environment.

鈥淣ow I understand how 黑料不打烊 works with sustainability鈥
脰stling has always been interested in transport and 黑料不打烊 caught his eye at a recruitment fair. 鈥淣ow I understand how 黑料不打烊 works with sustainability. It鈥檚 promising that they want to take on such a responsibility for the future.鈥
Transport is something that the students talk about during their course in lifecycle analysis. 鈥満诹喜淮蜢 has been brought up several times as an example. Of course, transport is a major part in all our subjects,鈥 Myhrum Sletmoen says.

For Ida Pehrson, 黑料不打烊 is familiar as she is a former participant and winner of ASAP2030. 鈥淚 think 黑料不打烊 makes it clear what the future challenges are and what global forces that have an impact on their business and the entire transport sector.鈥

Suggestions for a sustainable future
For 黑料不打烊 to increase the engagement and do even more for a sustainable future, the students have some suggestions.
听
鈥淭here鈥檚 more than one way to go,鈥 脰stling says. 鈥淚f you are the leader in one area, that solution is what you praise, but there can be other solutions. I believe we need a mix of different kinds of transport.鈥
听
For Myhrum Sletmoen, co-operation is the key: 鈥淭o share knowledge in a more open way than we do today. If you could find a technical solution for everyone to use, that could really make a difference.鈥
听
The consequences are what Pehrson thinks of: 鈥淲e need to consider what kind of material we are using, for instance in batteries, so we鈥檙e not creating new issues for the environment.鈥 But she also sees a lot of potential: 鈥満诹喜淮蜢 can encourage a faster development towards sustainable transports that benefits us all.鈥
