Sustainable and Resilient Transport System is a research and innovation grant call run by the Swedish Energy Agency (Energimyndigheten), Sweden's national authority for energy. It sits under the agency's Sustainable Transport System program (Swedish: Hållbara transportsystem), which runs from 10 May 2023 to 31 December 2029 with a total frame of 305 million SEK; this was the program's third call. The call funds projects with energy relevance across all modes of transport that speed up the shift of the transport system toward lower energy use.

The call made about 100 million SEK available in total. The source does not state any per-project minimum or maximum award, and co-financing rules and project budget caps appear only in the full call text, which is not part of this page. Grants are paid as state aid, so the amount a for-profit company can receive depends on aid-intensity limits set by EU Commission Regulation (EU) No 651/2014 and Swedish ordinance SFS 2008:761; those limits are linked from the page but not quantified there.

Any actor that can contribute to the call's purpose and goals may apply. The page lists, as examples: the public sector; companies (legal persons); the social-science, humanities, technical and natural-science disciplines of universities and colleges; institutes connected to the research field; and other actors connected to the research field. A for-profit company therefore has a direct path to apply, on its own or alongside public bodies and universities.

Applications were submitted through the Swedish Energy Agency's e-services portal, with a final application deadline of 29 April 2025 at 23:59. The page does not publish a scoring rubric, numeric thresholds, or a step-by-step review sequence, so those are left empty here. Funded solutions must be applicable or close to market-ready and show international potential.

Practical caveats: this is a recurring program between rounds, so the 29 April 2025 deadline has passed and a future call is expected rather than open now. The funded work must be energy-relevant transport solutions; the page does not state award sizes, cost-share, or eligibility limits beyond who may apply, so applicants should read the full call text for budget caps and state-aid intensity before applying.
