Export Opportunities in the transport industry
Exporting in transport and mobility typically means supplying vehicles, components, digital systems and services into global value chains. A value chain that is shaped by electrification, connectivity, automation and safety demands.
- Complete vehicles and transport equipment
Swedish exporters supply passenger cars, trucks, buses and other equipment, often supported by international dealer networks, local subsidiaries or direct fleet sales. - Components, subsystems and safety technologies
Exports include batteries, electronics, drivetrain components, bearings, airbags, seatbelts and other subsystems delivered into global original equipment manufacturer supply chains. - Software, connectivity and intelligent transport systems
Companies export telematics, fleet management, traffic control and connected mobility platforms, typically through business-to-business or business-to-government models. - Infrastructure and equipment for electrified mobility
Opportunities include charging systems, e-highway technology, rail signalling, port technology and other enabling equipment for operators and infrastructure owners. - Project-based and partnership-led delivery
For rail, maritime and public transport, exports often happen through tenders, consortia, local partners or technology transfer arrangements. - Engineering and advisory services
Swedish companies also export consulting, design and technical expertise linked to sustainable transport, safety and infrastructure.
These dimensions shape how companies prioritise markets, position their offering and move from entry to long-term scale.
