Deadline: 19 March 2025
Funding of system demonstrators, both preparatory projects and full-scale system demonstrators that accelerate the transition to fossil-free, safe, equitable and efficient road transport. The solutions are clearly based on the biggest social challenges for sustainable road transport.
The projects must have a high technical maturity, where industry and need owners see value in investing in the solutions and spend time and resources to demonstrate them in a real environment.
A wide range of actors with the ability to influence different parts of the system work actively and jointly in the project. The solution has potential to be widely implemented within a few years and to be scalable in a national and international context.
The offer is part of the sub-programme FFI Accelerera within the collaboration Vehicle strategic research and innovation (FFI).
What can you apply for?
- System demonstrators to increase the pace of sustainable road transport, see FFIs Färdplan. It is possible to apply for preparatory projects for system demonstrator or for full-scale system demonstrator.
Funding Information
- Maximum funding for preparatory projects is SEK 750,000, with at least 25 percent co-financing from companies for the total budget. For system demonstrators, the minimum project budget is SEK 10 million, of which at least 50 percent is co-financing.
Eligibility Criteria
- This the offer is aimed at broader project constellations that have intention to collaborate to create a system demonstrator for complex societal challenges that will ultimately help accelerate the transition to a sustainable road transport system.
- The projects will be implemented in collaboration with actors throughout the value chain.
- For the preparation projects, at least two actors are required.
- For the system demonstration projects, a minimum of three actors are required.
- In both the preparatory projects and the system demonstration projects, at least one of the actors must be a need owner (user). The expectation is that the project consortium is larger than the minimum levels above, in order to influence and create a major change in the system.
- The project partners must be legal entities.
- This the offer is aimed at different groups of actors who intend to carry out preparatory projects or system demonstrator projects in broad collaboration. For example, industry parties who are suppliers of solutions together with need owners or users, research and public actors.
- Foreign actors may be relevant and necessary to include as project parties in the project. If these actors do not have a branch or establishment in Sweden, they cannot receive support from Vinnova in this call for proposals.
