Shaping the future mobility (Virtual Presentation)

Customers are changing and want different cars, in different ways from the past. That’s why Volvo is fundamentally changing its business. 

The company is going all-in on electric vehicles with the aim for half of its sales to be fully electric by 2025. Volvo is also changing the way customers access cars by offering them on all-inclusive subscriptions and for sale online.

At the same time, Volvo Cars is enabling its cars to become better every day. No longer will a car’s best day be the day it leaves the factory. Through continuous updates to software, cars will improve and see features added over the air.

We now have our first electric cars on the road. In a few years we’ll have many – and some of them will be able to drive by themselves. 

The future of mobility is changing, and Volvo aims to lead that change.
