With 8 new partners, Polestar is still looking for collaborators to make the project 100% neutral

Polestar is a Swedish-based electric car maker with the surprising goal of creating a completely climate-neutral car by 2030. The realization of this project can be achieved not just by planting trees somewhere in the Amazon, but by making changes to revolutionize the supply chain. For this, the company will need several partners who employ techniques with zero emission of gases that increase the greenhouse effect, from raw material extraction to engines.

What are the partners of the Swedish automaker and their specialties?

Initially revealed in 2021, the plan did not have the importance it deserved. However, now Polestar is back with eight new partners confirmed and known to carry out the project. According to the company's press release, the new employees are Vitesco Technologies, Schloetter, Autoneum, Stora Enso, TMG Automotive, Granges, Borgstena, and Stena Aluminum.

Collaborating companies have specialties that include electrical inverters, electroplating, interior and exterior materials, renewable packaging solutions, biomaterials, wood and paper construction, cladding and textiles, flat-rolled aluminum, mesh and fabric materials, and recycled aluminum. That is, most of the components needed for a new car were acquired sustainably.

The sustainability of the project comes from the raw material

The Swedish automaker's project, called Polestar 0, plans to extract raw materials and manufacture the vehicle with zero emissions of polluting gases. For this, you will have lithium mines that do not use fossil fuels, processing plants where the kilns do not emit toxic greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, paint factories that have zero emissions, and so on.

According to InsideEVs, Polestar continues to look for partners in raw materials, bio-based chemicals, polymers, electrical components, noble gases and other source materials. For the company, its objective of deliver a climate-neutral car by 2030 makes signing these partnerships “critically urgent”.

Hans Pehrson, Project Leader Polestar 0, says: “My conviction in the success of the Polestar 0 project is reaffirmed every time we meet with new collaborators. It is clear that there is immense potential to explore around the world. Achieving the seemingly impossible is never a one-man show. It is only through collective action that we can achieve the breakthroughs that really make a difference and find the transformative solutions that go beyond the auto industry.”
