Who we are
From the very outset Volvo Cars has been a brand for people who care about the world we live in and the people around us. We have made it our mission to make life easier, better and safer for everyone.
For life. We want to provide you with the freedom to move in a personal, sustainable and safe way.
Personal
With new models of car ownership and attractive services whenever and wherever you need, we aim to make your life less complicated.
Sustainable
To help protect the world we share, we must do more than merely electrify our cars. We’re committed to rethinking sustainability in our operations, in our cars and in society.
Safe
We make cars for people who care about other people. So when it comes to safety, we think just as much about your surroundings as we do about you and your passengers.

We’re ambitious
We want to disrupt the auto industry and be a leader in safety, sustainability, online business and a new global people standard. Our ambitions set a clear path for us as we rise to meet our – and society’s – challenges.
We have expanded our electric car portfolio with our new fully electric models EX30, EX90 and EM90, in addition to the XC40 Recharge and C40 Recharge. By 2025, we’re aiming for at least 50% of our global sales volume to be fully electric cars, with the rest hybrids. This is a critical step towards being fully electric by 2030.
By 2025, we’re aiming to reduce our overall CO₂ lifecycle emissions per car by 40%, compared to 2018. This means more than simply reducing tailpipe emissions – electrification is not enough. We must reduce CO₂ emissions across our operations and supply chain.
