Collaboration – The Key to Faster Development 🍁📈 Sweden and Canada have a long tradition of cooperation in trade, security, and climate transition. As global trade landscapes shift, partnerships and collaboration are what drive resilience and unlock new opportunities. At a recent meeting with Canada’s Ambassador Jason LaTorre and West Swedish companies, the growing trade and investment ties between Sweden and Canada were in focus. Johan Wahlström from Cespira participated in the discussions, highlighting the importance of strong international partnerships for innovation and sustainable growth. By working together, we accelerate progress and create new possibilities for businesses and economies alike. Collaboration is the way forward! #Collaboration #Innovation #SwedenCanada
📈🍁SVERIGE & KANADA - NYA MÖJLIGHETER MED STARKARE BAND I tider av global osäkerhet och ökande handelsspänningar blir strategiska samarbeten allt viktigare. Vid ett möte med Kanadas ambassadör Jason LaTorre och västsvenska företag diskuterades den växande handeln och investeringarna mellan Sverige och Kanada – en relation som blivit allt starkare under senaste åren. Kanada och Sverige delar gemensamma värderingar och har en lång tradition av samarbete inom handel, investeringar, försvar, säkerhet och klimatomställning. Som ambassadören uttryckte det: "Two-way trade and two-way investments between Sweden and Canada has grown, and there are great opportunities for our two countries to strengthen our relationship even further. We have common interests and can face global challenges as allies and close friends." Mötet ägde rum precis innan USA infört nya tullar mot Kanada. Ambassadören menar att tullar och ekonomiska förändringar kommer att kräva anpassning, men en stark och motståndskraftig ekonomi gör att Kanada står väl rustat. För västsvenska företag finns det stora möjligheter på den kanadensiska marknaden – och Kanada ser Sverige som en viktig partner i den globala handeln. Västsvenska Handelskammaren ser fram emot att fortsatt stärka relationerna mellan våra länder och skapa nya affärsmöjligheter för företag i regionen. #västsvenskahandelskammaren #handel #internationellhandel #näringsliv #affärsmöjligheter #export #investeringar #sverige #kanada #globalaffärer

The European automotive industry is indeed at a pivotal moment, as Ursula von der Leyen rightly highlights. The transition to a sustainable and competitive future must be both ambitious and pragmatic, aligned with market realities. At Cespira, we accelerate heavy transport decarbonisation with our HPDI™ fuel system technology. By enabling internal combustion engines to run on carbon-neutral fuels like hydrogen and biomethane, we provide an immediate, scalable solution for reducing emissions using technology available today. The upcoming Action Plan on March 5th is an opportunity to ensure the policy and regulatory landscape embraces both electrification and advanced combustion technologies, securing a sustainable and competitive future. The future of heavy transport is being written—let’s make it one of innovation and leadership. Read more: https://lnkd.in/daN3xSif #Cespira #HPDI #Decarbonization #HeavyTransport #Innovation #NetZero

As part of the Volvo Group family, we’re inspired by the strides made in advancing sustainability and innovation. From pioneering low-CO2-emission steel to expanding renewable fuel solutions, Volvo Group is proving what’s possible when collaboration drives bold action. Together, we’re shaping a more sustainable future for heavy transport. #Cespira #Sustainability #Innovation #VolvoGroup
2024 was transformative for Volvo Group. From material development to partnerships, our journey toward a more sustainable future took huge strides. We were the first to introduce and expand our use of low-CO2-emission steel in our trucks. This has a direct impact in decarbonizing heavy transport – even before the truck hits the road. We have signed a partnership agreement with BASF that will enable even more innovations in low-carbon materials, such as recycled plastics. The launch of Cespira, our joint venture for HPDI fuel system technology, underscores the potential of renewable fuels and hydrogen to transform commercial transportation. Sustainability is also about extending the life of what we already have. In 2024, we celebrated the first refurbished battery from our Skövde plant, providing customers with cost-effective, lower-emission alternatives and reaffirming our commitment to resource efficiency. We have also created a 50/50 joint venture with Daimler to develop a software-defined vehicle platform that will amplify digital transformation. Milence, our joint venture with Daimler and Traton Group, is building Europe’s largest public charging network for heavy-duty trucks. With charging hubs in 10 key markets long-distance electric transport is becoming faster and more efficient. The road to net-zero emissions by 2040 remains ambitious, but this year proved that collaboration, innovation, and bold action are the keys to moving forward. Together, we are creating solutions that benefit not only our customers but also the planet.
