Keeping you and your car connected
Today, more and more on-board functions are being developed to help people connect with their cars. But in a Volvo, there’s a function especially designed to help connect our cars directly with people. This function is part of the Volvo On Call service.
Environment
Sabine Fleiss
We can all have a positive influence on the world around us. Whether it’s driving a car with low emissions or making sure you turn off the lights when leaving a room. Volvo Car’s resident oil expert Sabina Fleiss, however, decided to do a little more. Come along as Sabine guides us through a normal working day at the Volvo Cars lab.
Lifestyle
Skiing in Åre
Skiing seems to come naturally to the Swedes. Perhaps it’s growing up in a country where months of uninterrupted ice and snow are the norm, and falling temperatures and tricky terrain are seen as springboards to adventure rather than stumbling blocks? Whatever it is, the moment you witness a six-year-old whizzing by you at speeds you could only dream of, you soon realise the Swedes were built for the slopes.
Ownership
An Unforgettable Adventure
Following the road ahead is often the easiest route to take, but it rarely leads to exciting discoveries. This is our philosophy when we design our cars and the thinking behind Factory Delivery Experience. Factory Delivery Experience gives you the unique opportunity to collect your new Volvo from our factory in Gothenburg, Sweden. But that’s not all you’ll find waiting for you when you arrive in the home of Volvo Cars
Lifestyle
A unique way of connecting people
In the past, keeping people connected was a lot more difficult than it is today. It took ingenuity, risk and a whole lot of manpower. We explore Sweden’s oldest and most ambitious way of keeping people connected – the Göta Canal.

Connectivity In Berlin
After travelling the world for 12 years, Cologne-born entrepreneur Gundula Cöllen decided it was time to return to Germany and reconnect with her homeland. And when it came to choosing a city in which to settle down in and start up a new business, she only had one place in mind – Berlin.

Chicago stories
The connection between Chicago and Sweden runs deep. Like a brother and sister who have chosen different roads to follow but whose shared past forms an unbreakable bond. Follow us as we explore the Swedish side of the Windy City from the passenger seat of an XC90.
Environment
A Volvo is for life
The environment is something all car manufacturers now think about. In 1983, however, it was a different story. So, when we released the LCP 2000, a concept car designed with the good of the planet in mind, it raised a few eyebrows. Now, more than thirty years later, our commitment to the environment is stronger than ever.
Design
Crafted by Sweden
Every new Volvo is a product of Sweden – a place with a unique society and sense of style. Maximilian Missoni, Vice President Exterior Design, and Tisha Johnson, Senior Interior Designer, talk about how the calm confidence and the focus on natural light and materials in the Volvo S90 and V90 exemplify Swedish life and modern Scandinavian design.
