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.

The final results from the Swedish Energy Agency's five-year Programme for Improving Energy Efficiency in Energy Intensive Industries (PFE) show that 87 Swedish energy-intensive industrial companies have achieved energy rationalisations totalling 1.4 TWh.

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.
