Volvo Group

Volvo has been around for almost 100 years, and our history and heritage are very important to us. The Volvo Historical Archive holds 5,000 meters of analog assets, including 1,500 meters of film and images in various formats. To preserve them for future generations, we are digitizing parts of the collection as some may deteriorate with time and technological changes. Because when you look to the future - it’s important to know where you came from. Psst... Want to know more about Volvo’s history? At our one-of-a-kind experience centre, World of Volvo, you can take a journey through the past, present and future, including some of Volvo's most iconic vehicles and machines.

We are excited to introduce the brilliant minds behind the new batch of startup companies that have just joined the #CampXbyVolvoGroup incubator.   At CampX, Volvo Group’s global startup innovation arena for technology and business transformation, the startups will work alongside Volvo Group's R&D teams in the CampX innovation hub, in a peer-to-peer set-up. Together, we will co-design the future of sustainable mobility.   We look forward to exchanging ideas and co-creating with Privasea AB, Semanttic, Deontic, Intended Future, OxidOS Automotive, and AIRY Automotive to accelerate innovation together.   Thank you to our partners Vinnova and mobilityXlab, and to all mentors, sponsors and intrapreneurs for being part of the journey. Collaboration is everything.   #startup #incubator #innovation

Breakthrough: Volvo Trucks will launch a long-range version of the Volvo FH Electric with 600 km range. The enabler for the 600 km range is a new driveline technology, the so-called e-axle, which creates space for significantly more battery capacity onboard. More efficient batteries, a further improved battery management system and overall efficiency of the powertrain also contribute to the extended range. “Our new electric flagship will be a great complement to our wide range of electric trucks and enable zero-exhaust emission transport also for the longer distances. It will be a great solution for transport companies with a high annual mileage on their trucks and with a strong commitment to reduce CO2,” says Roger Alm, President Volvo Trucks.

World premiere! The all-new Volvo BZRT Electric buses from Volvo Buses are now on trial in Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico. The bi-articulated chassis can extend up to 28 meters and offers the same passenger capacity as a corresponding diesel vehicle – but with zero emissions, marking a big step towards emission-free public transport. 

Introducing Charging Mangagement by Volvo Trucks - a new service that enables transport companies to efficiently manage the private charging of their electric trucks at the home depot.    Charging Management helps increase productivity and uptime by ensuring that the trucks in a fleet are sufficiently charged for scheduled operations and reducing the number of unscheduled charging sessions.    This new service is a great complement to Volvo Open Charge, which Volvo Trucks and Volvo Energy launched last year. Volvo Open Charge helps carriers find, access, and pay for public charging stations and is available for all truck brands, not just Volvo Trucks. 

We have been offering remanufacturing for 70 years and we will continue developing the processes to extend the lifecycle of parts and components. Remanufacturing gives new life to a product or component. There is also a great opportunity to reuse and extend the life of a product with high quality service and resale of used products.   One example is Volvo Penta, which has now expanded its range of remanufactured drives for marine customers. The remanufacturing process for complete marine engines reuses up to 60% of components and can save up to 56% of CO2 emissions during production compared to new production.
