Our vision is that no one should be killed or seriously injured in a new Volvo car." Håkan Samuelsson, President and CEO, Volvo Cars
Electrification Strategy 2025:
On the 5th of July this year, we announced our strategy towards electrification, saying all new Volvos from 2019 will have an electric motor. By 2025, the company aims to have sold one million electrified cars and it will launch five fully electric models between 2021 and 2025.
Commitment to the Environment:
Volvo has committed to being climate neutral in manufacturing by 2025. All plastics in cars will be recycled, but tested for strength and safety, including carpets from recycled materials. Using Sustainalytics to measure specific targets on reduction of CO2. ... Volvo has been reporting on sustainability since 2003.Dec 4, 2018
Volvo Cars has one of the most ambitious climate plans in the car industry. We aim to reduce our CO2 emissions per car by 40 percent between now and 2025, a first tangible step towards our long-term goal of becoming climate neutral by 2040. We realise that electrification alone is not enough, and so our climate ambitions go beyond radically reducing tailpipe emissions through all-out electrification. We will also tackle carbon emissions in our manufacturing network, our wider operations, our supply chain and through our approach to recycling and reuse of materials.
Technology and Innovation Belief:
At Volvo Cars, we always keep moving forward by developing new technologies. Innovation is in our DNA. That same innovative spirit is the basis for our ambitions for the coming years around electrification, safety, autonomous drive and connectivity.
By the middle of next decade, we expect half of our global annual sales volume to be fully electric. One- third of our global volume will be fully autonomous cars and we will have established over five million direct consumer relationships - all while still being a leader in safety. We will offer our customers the freedom to move, in a personal, sustainable and safe way.
