TROY, MI—The 2024 Polestar 2 recently received the Altair Enlighten Award for sustainability and lightweighting advancements. The annual awards program, sponsored by Altair and the Center for Automotive Research (CAR), also honored the Nikola Tre FCEV truck and the Lucid Air sedan.

The Polestar 2 features next-generation electric motors, quicker charging, greater efficiency and a range of up to 654 kilometers. Despite the significant increases to performance, range and efficiency, the vehicle also boasts a reduced carbon footprint, with some versions now producing up to 3 tons less carbon dioxide compared to the launch version released in 2020. In addition, Polestar uses blockchain technology within its supply chain to expand raw material traceability and address social and environmental issues.
