Our Values and Beliefs

Personal

- Volvo Cars has a vision that nobody should be seriously injured or killed in a new Volvo

- Since 1927, when the founders of Volvo Cars decided to focus on safety as one of the core values of the company, we have been a leader in the field. That will never change. What will change is the breadth of technologies we employ to improve your driving experience and safety.

Sustainable

- 2020 Launch of a complete electrified carline of plug-in hybrids and pure electric cars, starting with our first pure electric SUV - the XC40 Recharge. Our aim is that around 20% of our annual car sales should be plug-in hybrids.

- 2025 Our ambition is that around 50% of the cars we sell should be pure electric by 2025, the other 50% to be hybrids. Our long-term commitment to the environment is to be 85% recyclable and 95% recoverable.

- 2040 Our vision is to be climate neutral across our full value chain, in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement.

Safety

- Our approach to safety is unique. We have been studying car crashes in great detail since the 1970s and have developed a range of features that help to mitigate crashes, improve driver alertness, communicate speed limits and even communicate directly to other cars when there is a danger on the road ahead with our Slippery Road and Hazard Light Alert features.
