GÖTEBORG, Sweden, October 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
In an increasingly complex and digitalized sector, where
automation, electro mobility and connected vehicles comprise the
future, new requirements are being set in terms of work
approaches.
Which is why Autoliv (NYSE: ALV and SSE: ALIVsdb), Ericsson,
Volvo Cars, the Volvo Group and Zenuity opened MobilityXlab at
Lindholmen Science Park today. The companies want to strengthen
their positions at the forefront of a changing automotive industry
with the aim of collaborating with start-ups to develop and
demonstrate safer and more efficient transportation for tomorrow's
world.
The investment enables the shared development of new technology
as well as collaboration with smaller start-ups, whose ideas one
wants to support and draw inspiration from. In this way, the
companies aim to also stimulate the development across the Swedish
automotive cluster with the objective of increasing competitiveness
in terms of tomorrow's transportation system.
MobilityXlab, which includes an innovation lab and expo space,
shares the same building as Zenuity, Volvo Car's and Autoliv's
joint venture developing software for self-driving vehicles.
Starting MobilityXlab at Lindholmen Science Park was an obvious
choice for the partners.
"In a time when the automobile industry is undergoing rapid
change — mutual exchange between specialized companies can create
more robust solutions more rapidly. The pace of innovation is
accelerating," comments Jan Carlson,
Autoliv Chairman, President and CEO.
