Nordic Booster: World-leading battery technology, Made in Norway

Nordic Booster AS is a genuine first mover in applied battery technology. “We take ideas from academia and turn them into real commercial applications, driving the transition from fossil fuels to electric solutions,” says Trond Skaufel.

The vision? To be a leading force in the transition to sustainable and innovative solutions within industries that still depend on fossil fuels.

And Nordic Booster delivers on its promises. In collaboration with Scania Pilot Partner, the company is now the first to launch a circular energy solution that gives used batteries from electric lorries a new lease of life.

“The residual value of an electric lorry has just increased with this solution, and we repurpose the battery so it can be used for many additional years,” says Skaufel.

Norwegian technology and craftsmanship have been crucial throughout this journey – and the Made in Norway label now confirms that origin.

“We want to help create a future where electric alternatives are not merely replacements, but genuine improvements to today’s industrial practices,” says Skaufel.

The collaboration on the lorry batteries is 100 per cent Scandinavian, with batteries supplied from Sweden and technology developed and manufactured in Norway. Nordic Booster is responsible for proprietary software, design and production, with a strong emphasis on cyber security, operational reliability and local value creation.

Many assume that this type of technology does not exist in Norway, which is why the company considers the Made in Norway certification so important. When they developed the world’s first mobile charging trailer with integrated battery capacity for construction and infrastructure projects, they wanted certification that could clearly document its Norwegian origin.

“Customers often assume that all high-tech products come from abroad. We are proud to demonstrate that Norway has both the expertise and the manufacturing capacity to deliver world-class technology,” says Skaufel.

Initially focused on construction and heavy equipment, Nordic Booster has expanded into heavy transport charging and grid support.

“When we talk about supporting the power grid through our connected solutions, it’s a matter of national security and critical infrastructure – something Norway must retain control over. That’s why delivering these solutions with Norwegian technology is so important,” says Skaufel.

Nordic Booster will use the Made in Norway label across its website, on its physical products and in communication with both customers and policymakers.

“We will display the label on Hummingbird, Boostcharger and Boostpoint – physical charging stations with and without batteries – all designed, developed, assembled and produced in Norway,” says Skaufel.

The same applies to its software platforms, Chargio and Playmaker, which are developed 100 per cent in Norway by Norwegian experts.
