Powerful developments

Oil reserves are dwindling and we face a climate change. These are both major driving forces behind the need to reduce dependency on fossil fuels.

The route to sustainable transport solutions
As the modern transport industry is facing this challenge, the questions are piling up: Which fuels are most efficient? Which energy sources are available? Which engine solutions are in greatest demand by customers?

The Volvo Group is therefore working on a number of new alternative drivelines and fuels so as to decide on the potential of each of these alternatives.
