Elektriska entreprenadmaskiner utanför elnätet?

Karl-Henrik, Hedvig, Stefan och Ludwig skapade tillsammans med Stanfordstudenter Nomad och Oasis – två enheter som tillsammans kan generera och distribuera energi till eldrivna maskiner utanför elnätet, till exempel vid katastrofarbeten. Projektet är en del av kursen ME310, en årlig kurs och ett globalt samarbete med Stanford University där bland annat Volvo Construction Equipment utmanar studenter med verkliga problemställningar.
