Vidde Snow Mobility, which is building the future’s sustainable electric snowmobiles, has chosen Skellefteå Kraft as a partner.

In March, the first prototype of a completely new type of snowmobile, powered by electricity and with a significantly longer lifespan than the old fossil-fueled snowmobiles, will be built. The perception of snow transport will change with Vidde, which offers quiet and completely emission-free snowmobiles.

“To succeed with our vision of offering sustainable electric snowmobiles, a network of reliable suppliers who also share Vidde’s vision of the future is required. In Skellefteå Kraft, we find a partner who wants to be part of driving the transition to a sustainable society with 100% renewable energy. Skellefteå Kraft takes responsibility as one of the country’s largest energy companies, and they have local roots in Norrland, just like Vidde. Together, we want to create the right conditions for a sustainable transition using renewable energy in Norrland,” says Christian Lystrup, CEO of Vidde.

For Skellefteå Kraft, the partnership is proof of the belief that the transition must take place together in partnership.

The transition to renewable electricity is crucial for a sustainable societal transition. “With renewable energy, we can drive the transition, among other things, through electrified transportation and vehicles. The partnership means that we work together to map out how this transition will work for the end-user and to leverage Skellefteå Kraft’s expertise to find future solutions,” says Sanna Lundström, Head of Business Area Marketing at Skellefteå Kraft.

“In order to be successful in transitioning to sustainable life on the mountain, it is important to have more actors working to create extended charging possibilities, not only on the roads but also throughout the whole transport network. Here we see increased strength in joining forces with more parties who truly understand the premises,” says Christian Lystrup, CEO of Vidde.
