The Volvo Group has shaped the landscape of transportation and infrastructure solutions since its founding in 1927—most recently, through demonstrating and deploying industry-redefining fully autonomous, zero emission, and connected vehicle technologies. As global transportation demands continue to increase due to a growing population, increased urbanization, and a worldwide focus on emission reduction, the transportation industry as we know it today must evolve to factor in the importance of sustainability.
