Do you want to be a part of creating our future?
The choices we make today define the world we live in tomorrow. Climate change, population growth and increasing urbanization are shifting the landscape and expectations on transport and infrastructure. In all our actions, we need to consider how to reduce climate impact, use the world's resources more efficiently, and conduct business more responsibly.
The transport industry is developing in a higher pace than ever before and we at Volvo Group want to shape the future of transportation. We believe that automation will redefine the commercial transport solutions that most of us rely on every day. Automation will create real-life benefits for both our customers and the society in terms of productivity, safety, energy and fuel efficiency. Our Safety Vision provides a distinct direction for all our safety work - Zero accidents. It is the idea of "Zero" that guides us.
