Important results from the project
To establish the PMH Application Lab Center for the production of heavy vehicles for heavy vehicles at KTH. In addition, established a so-called innovation cluster, PMH R & D Cluster. In this innovation cluster, PMH Application Lab collaborates with Fraunhofer institutes IPT and IWU from Germany and with the Swedish research partners KTH, Swerea KIMAB, Swerea IVF, Chalmers and Fraunhofer-Chalmers Center FCC. Industrial species order research and development through the innovation cluster.

Approach and implementation
The operations are organized into four working groups: - Gear technology - process optimization, production equipment and running production. - Machining - process optimization, production equipment, running production and strategic planning. - Forming - process optimization, production equipment, running production and strategic planning. - Smart manufacturing - digital infrastructure (5G, cloud technology), digital twin and model-based data analytics. In these workgroups, there are a total of about 70 experts from academia, institutes and companies.
