Sweden’s Green Push Now Includes Electrifying Snowmobiles
- Vidde snowmobile getting design makeover by Pininfarina
- Subarctic incentives draw dozens of green-mobility startups
Sweden’s rush to electric mobility is entering a new frontier: snowmobiles.
Startup Vidde Snow Mobility AB plans to deliver its first 1,000 electric snowmobiles in late 2024, with orders from the country’s resort operator Skistar, electricity producer Skelleftea Kraft and the Icehotel in Jukkasjarvi. Its prototype — named “Frank” after Frankenstein’s monster — is set for a design makeover by Pininfarina SpA, the Italian design house known for luxury cars.
