Cooperation in research and development

Haldex has programs of close cooperation with several universities and institutes of advanced education in Sweden and other countries.

Research is conducted in cooperation with the Universities of Technology in Luleå and Linköping. Haldex has also entered programs of cooperation with Chalmers Institute of Technology in Gothenburg, the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm, the University of Linköping and universities in Aachen and Dresden in Germany and Cambridge in the UK.

To ensure that Haldex remains at the leading edge of technology and progressive product development in the future, and continues to adopt new trends that will contribute to future earnings, the Group participates actively in a number of national and international research and development projects.

Working with certain Swedish vehicle manufacturers, Haldex is also participating in IVSS (Integrated Vehicle Safety Systems), a research project that is also supported by Vinnova and the Swedish Road Administration.

The Program for Automotive Research (PFF) is conducting a Green Car research project to develop more environmentally compatible vehicles. Green Car is a program of coordinated activities based on an agreement between the Swedish government and domestic vehicle manufacturers. Haldex is contributing knowledge and the experience gained through its development of Alfdex and other projects.

Development work on the next-generation brake system, Brake by Wire, was conducted within the framework of SPARC (Secure Propulsion and Advanced Redundant Control), an EU development project. Haldex was one of more than 20 companies participating in a consortium led by Daimler.
