When this app is enabled, it automatically collects your car's identification number1, location and other trip-related data, such as time, distance and battery consumption.
Note
The Trips app calculates the battery consumption based on pure consumption during a trip. If you see a different value in your car's trip meter, it's because the trip meter also takes energy regeneration into account.
In the Volvo Cars app, you can:
- View, manage and delete all of your trips.
- Export your driving journal.
- Stay informed if a trip isn't uploaded due to an issue, such as network problems.
When the Trips app is enabled, all users that have paired the Volvo Cars app with the car can see the trips. If the Trips app is disabled, the car stops sending information about new trips.
Note
Car location sharing
You need to enable car location sharing in the display and in the Volvo Cars app to start logging your trips.
Storage limits
When a trip is logged, it can be stored in the Trips app for up to 400 days. The app has the capacity to store approximately 500 trips. When this limit is reached, older trips are automatically deleted to free up space and make room for new trips.
Note
If the journal isn't logging trips, the reasons for this might include:
- Weak or no network connection.
- The app isn't receiving GPS coordinates.
- Location permissions are disabled so the Trips app can't access the car's location.
