An electrically powered urban vehicle that can cover 90 percent of the daily transport needs of a commuter is the goal of a research project at Volvo Car Corporation, which is now being partly financed by a good SEK 150 million from the Swedish Energy Agency.

The Swedish Energy Agency has decided to support the continuation of Innovatum's research project – the ZE SAAB 9-3 electrical vehicle. Safety and battery development are two areas having the highest priority in the next stage of the project and will be partly financed by the Swedish Energy Agency.

Globally, windpower is a large market that is growing rapidly and contains possibilities for economic growth and new job opportunities for Sweden.

The Swedish Energy Agency has authorised SEK 812 million in support for three demonstration facilities. The support will be provided as long as the outcome of the EU commission's state support enquiry is positive.

The project Sustainable municipality now takes a further step in energy-, and climate work. A total of 20 million has been granted to the second phase, a research program and a research project on spatial planning.
