Volvo Group is hiring a Group Manager for Advanced Steering Systems!
Our future
Take a moment. Look around you. What do you see?
Probably you see a screen or a computer. Maybe you see a desk or a sofa. Or perhaps you see a bus and some cars.
Now you might wonder: why are we talking about this? Well - what we want to say is that everything around you (almost), has been delivered by a truck. Amazing, right!?
We at Volvo believe in even more transports moving forward considering our growing global population, the urbanization, peoples drive for prosperity and not the least E-commerce.
We also believe that automation, electromobility and connectivity will redefine the commercial transport solutions that most of us rely on every day and that it will create real-life benefits for both our customers and the society as a whole. We are in the midst of a fundamental change.
As one of the world leaders in sustainable transport solutions and provider of engineering and technology innovations, it means great expectations but also great responsibilities.
