Scope : To Set up Mobility Innovation Centre for Emerging Technologies in Sweden
Volvo Cars is setting up Mobility Innovation Destination Torslanda, which is a tailored test bed of automotive development near the heart of its operations in Gothenburg, Sweden. This new initiative continues the carmaker's electrification journey and advancement of its next generation of premium electric cars.
The innovation centre will allow Volvo Cars to test emerging technologies in an environment designed to emulate the future society that it envisions its cars to be part of. So rather than developing technologies like wireless car charging, vehicle-to-grid bi-directional charging and self-driving capabilities solely in labs and development centres, the strategy of setting up the mobility innovation centre is to also be able to test, validate and deploy its innovations in a city-like environment.
