Polestar and MobilityXlab partner

Polestar has joined Sweden-based innovation hub MobilityXlab.

MobilityXlab facilitates collaboration between tech start-ups with pioneering ideas within mobility and connectivity, and the partnership is expected to unlock more opportunities to advance future mobility.

It will also support Polestar’s rapid growth strategy, leveraging global tech start-ups to accelerate future mobility innovation.

Auckland-based Giltrap Group is Polestar’s official New Zealand representative.

“We are constantly looking for innovators that can help us bring value to our business, improve society, and ultimately benefit our customers,” says Polestar Global strategy and business development global head Nils Mösko.

MobilityXlab director Katarina Brud says Polestar’s market position will help attract the best and the brightest to its programme and bolsters other founding partners.

Prior to Polestar’s inception as a partner, MobilityXlab partners included CEVT, Ericsson, Veoneer, Volvo Cars, Volvo Group and Zenseact.

Polestar plans new EVs in coming years, including a roadster and other innovations.
