A catalyst for energy efficient vehicles
The Swedish Hybrid Vehicle Centre (SHC) is a national competence centre for the development of electric and hybrid vehicles. It is an arena where Sweden’s automotive industry, leading universities and government agencies can collaborate on research and development that focuses on electric and hybrid vehicle technology.
The Centre’s main function is to perform applied and industry-relevant research on electric and hybridised propulsion systems from a systemic perspective. SHC aims to establish itself as an internationally leading centre of science and industrial cooperation whose work encompasses technical, environmental, and societal issues as part of the endeavour to develop vehicles for a sustainable future.
