Klimator and Volvo Group initiates proof-of-value project in North America

Klimator will perform a proof-of-value project through the CampX by Volvo Group startup innovation hub in the US during Q4 2023, focusing on Klimator’s road weather information solution. The project has been granted financing of approximately 200 KSEK through the program FFI Accelerate Startup Partnership. 

The overall goal is to provide the driver with local weather hazards to improve driver experience and enable safer routing. The information will be visualized in a map through Klimator’s predictive cloud-based solution Road Condition Data, RCD, which enables the driver to get information before they reach the critical location.

“This project is a great example of how our dynamic weather data can be used to increase safety for the drivers. By providing the driver with proactive information of upcoming risks of hazard we move forward with an important step in the direction of creating safer roads according to the demands and needs ofthe market.” Says Viktoria Bogren, Head of Business Area Automotive at Klimator.
