Polestar, the electric vehicle (EV) maker under Geely, is set to expand its research and development operations in Europe by taking over part of Saab's former car plant in Sweden. The 15,000-square-meter building in Trollhattan, which was previously used by Saab and National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS) for powertrain development, will be rented by Polestar from the city of Trollhattan.
According to the German publication Automobilwoche, the new R&D center will primarily focus on powertrain development for the Polestar 5 and the Polestar 6 roadster. Additionally, the facility will be used for testing powertrains, electric motors, and batteries for the two models.
