Important results from the project

Through literature studies and collaborative workshops with actors in the automotive industry and IT, the DIPP feasibility study has compiled a vision with associated critical areas together with an action plan and a roadmap. The end result points out the importance of linking the overall sustainability challenge to the criteria and the data that can and needs to be made available to product developers. DIPP recommends the development of a circular design logic that includes increased use of traceable data followed by research and demonstration of potential solutions.

Expected long term effects

In DIPP involved both IT suppliers, material suppliers and technology suppliers together with vehicle integrators to create a vision, identify critical development areas and knowledge gaps. The need to demonstrate potential in applications and reduce risk for investments was emphasized and demonstration projects were prepared. A project proposal to define in a short time a product development logic for these demonstrators, including increased data availability has been proposed to FFI as a smaller project.

Approach and implementation

A literature and external study was immediately initiated with aim of compiling the State of Art and identifying ongoing and related initiatives. Workshops initially with different functions within Volvo were followed up with workshops where both IT suppliers, vehicle suppliers, material suppliers and authorities were invited to workshops to analyze different needs, design a vision and in a group analyze critical gaps to achieve the vision. Based on the results, an action plan and roadmap were drawn up, and a proposal for a first step in the plan was sent to FFI.
