Executive Summary The inventory report aims at providing knowledge about the competences and ability of the actors that each SAGE cluster ‘contains’ or ‘represent’. The objective is to give a background description of the general innovation system in automotive sector of each region and show the capacity and innovation potential of the clusters with respect to the specific knowledge and development focus of SAGE. The inventory study has been focused on the four main regions/clusters of SAGE: Western Sweden region (VGR or Västra Götaland Region), Mov’eo (Paris region and Upper Normandie), Regensburg cluster and Piedmont region. A preliminary inventory study has also been carried out for Warsaw Region, the focus region for mentoring activities in SAGE but the results from this study are not included in this report. 1.1. The SAGE clusters The Western Sweden cluster, represented by a the regional authority (the region of Västra Götaland), the Chalmers University of Technology and a major vehicle manufacturer (Volvo) company, is characterised by a highly focussed regional policy aiming towards development of industrial competitiveness. The research and innovation activities are implemented mainly through thematic competence centres with high involvement from major industrial stakeholders. The large OEMs in the region are Volvo Cars Corporations and organisations within AB Volvo, such as Volvo Buses Corporation, Volvo Group Trucks and Advanced Technology & Research (within Trucks). Research‐driven or research‐intensive suppliers and SMEs are few in number and are mostly small. Several existing engineering consultancy firms have development engineering competences in the studied areas, and new firms will likely develop in this area. The SMEs relevant to SAGE primarily consist of small firms within emerging ecosystems for e‐mobility, biofuels and transport efficiency. The regional level of innovation ‘management’ has primarily aimed to initiate and support innovation milieus and platforms for cluster development by using a network of existing constellations of actors. The French cluster is represented by Mov’eo pôle de compétitivité, a single legal entity with a broad representation from authorities, industry and research organisations. As such, they bring in particular experiences in cluster development activities, decision making procedures, etc. The cluster forecasts developments in clean technologies, low CO2 vehicles, safe and connected vehicles, new mobility solutions. Its collaborative projects focus on seven Strategic Activity Domains: Intelligent Mobility Solutions; Road Users Safety; Demonstration and Low CO2 Vehicles; Vehicles Environmental Footprint; Energy Storage Systems; Mechatronics Systems; ICE Powertrains. A third cluser variety is represented by the Regensburg cluster, represented in SAGE by the City of Regensburg, the Regensburg University of Applied Sciences, and Continental Automotive GmbH, a major automotive supplier. It is a cluster of suppliers and providers mainly focused on electromobility (with specific competences on ICT technologies), where the activities are characterised by the strong presence of several large company headquarters and a broad base of SMEs. In Piedmont, the cluster is represented by the regional authority (Piedmont Region), Politecnico di Torino and Fiat Research Center.The cluster is characterized by a distinctive feature: the entire planning and production cycle is all concentrated in the same area (particularly, in the Torino area) and the region’s know‐how encompasses all automotive sectors: cars, light and heavy commercial vehicles, buses, earthmoving machines. 3 The ecosystem is centred on the extended university campus of Politecnico where an open innovation centre integrating research, education and innovation has been developed (the Cittadella Politecnica). 1.2. National and regional public mesures for the development of the regional innovation system National agencies have a central role in developing policy and funding for the Road Transport sector both in Sweden and France. Their aim is to promote innovation systems (VINNOVA and Agency for Economic and Regional Growth in Sweden; OSEO in France with special focus on SMEs) as well as R&D and education in different focus areas (Energy, Environment and Transport sectors). In Western Sweden, Region Västra Götaland mainly supports cluster initiatives and collaborative project activities within the

  • Ringhalsveteranernas Höstresa Till Volvo Och Operan I Göteborg. Dagens Program Besök På Volvo Museum
    Ringhalsveteranerna Höstresan 2015-09-09 Sidan 1av 4 Ringhalsveteranernas höstresa till Volvo och operan i Göteborg. Till årets höstresa hade 44 deltagare anmält sitt intresse, varav 37 Veteraner och 8 respektive. Bussresan startade kl. 07,30 från järnvägsstationen i Varberg och sedan vidare mot Göteborg via Bua, Frillesås, Kungsbacka och Mölndal där de sista deltagarna hämtades upp. Resan arrangerades av S&S Resor i Falkenberg med den påläste guiden och reseledare Henric Bulten. Henric gav oss alla en synnerligen omfattande bakgrund om alla de platser och händelser som genom åren har inträffat på alla de platser vi passerade med vår buss. Dagens program Dagens program började med en god frukostmacka och en mugg med kaffe på Hotell Scandic i Mölndal. Därefter ett besök på Volvos museum i Arendal på Hisingen. Sedan ett besök på Göteborgs Operan för lunch innan en guidad rundtur ”bakom scenen” i Operahuset. En snabbis till Ramberget och utsikten över Göteborg blev plötsligt inplanerad då vi hade gott om tid innan rundturen med ”Blå tåget” på Volvos bilfabrik skulle starta. Volvo (Jag rullar än!) År 1924 bestämde sig de två grundarna Gustaf Larson och Assar Gabrielsson, för att konstruera en svensk bil. Det officiella datumet för Volvos grundande är den 14 april 1927, då den första bilen lämnade monteringslinjen i fabriken på Hisingen i Göteborg. Besök på Volvo museum Ett besök på Volvo museum är en riktig nostalgitripp för alla oss som har hunnit upp i pensionsåldern! Alla de gamla välkända och okända Volvo bilarna fanns uppställda på muséet. Volvo museum invigdes 1995 och drivs gemensamt av AB Volvo och Volvo Cars.

Ludvigsen papers, 1905-2011. Archival Collection 26 Title: Karl E. Ludvigsen papers, 1905-2011. Creator: Ludvigsen, Karl E. Call Number: Archival Collection 26 Quantity: 931 cubic feet (514 flat archival boxes, 98 clamshell boxes, 29 filing cabinets, 18 record center cartons, 15 glass plate boxes, 8 oversize boxes). Abstract: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers 1905-2011 contain his extensive research files, photographs, and prints on a wide variety of automotive topics. The papers reflect the complexity and breadth of Ludvigsen’s work as an author, researcher, and consultant. Approximately 70,000 of his photographic negatives have been digitized and are available on the Revs Digital Library. Thousands of undigitized prints in several series are also available but the copyright of the prints is unclear for many of the images. Ludvigsen’s research files are divided into two series: Subjects and Marques, each focusing on technical aspects, and were clipped or copied from newspapers, trade publications, and manufacturer’s literature, but there are occasional blueprints and photographs. Some of the files include Ludvigsen’s consulting research and the records of his Ludvigsen Library. Scope and Content Note: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers are organized into eight series. The series largely reflects Ludvigsen’s original filing structure for paper and photographic materials. Series 1. Subject Files [11 filing cabinets and 18 record center cartons] The Subject Files contain documents compiled by Ludvigsen on a wide variety of automotive topics, and are in general alphabetical order.

Geographical aspects of changing strategies in automotive subcontracting relationships: the case of domestic suppliers to Volvo Torslanda assembly plant. Department of Human and Economic Geography, School of Economics and Commercial Law, University of Gšteborg. Series B, No 97. 285 pages. ISBN 91Ð86472Ð33ÐX. This study analyses the significance of geographical proximity in the restructuring process of a domestic subcontractor system in the Swedish automotive industry, using the Volvo Torslanda assembly plant as a case. The focus is on: i) the organisation of buyer-subcontractor relationships, ii) time-related delivery strategies, iii) the significance of geographical proximity. The findings provide an empirical contribution to the general understanding of the geographical buyer- subcontractor relationships in the automotive industry. The case covers the development of the domestic subcontractor system in the 1990's and is subdivided into three parts: i) the 40 most important domestic subcontractors in 1996/97, ii) the development of the Arendal supplier-park project 1997-1998, and iii) an analysis of Hydro- Raufoss Automotive Plastics AB, a Norwegian subcontractor, 1993-1998.
