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 become a fully electric car company, and to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040. We’re 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.
