Volvo Group Global

The transport system can be described as the blood circulation system of the economy and is a base for social welfare.

Currently we are facing an expected world population increase to approximatly 8 billion by 2020, which will lead to an increased need for freight and public transport related service around the world. This population increase in parallel with a growing urbanization, will make it important for large cities to have efficient urban transportation - reducing accidents and avoiding congestion, which in turn reduces emissions, as well as developing public transportations.

The Volvo Group's core business is providing transport solutions and services. Volvo Group takes an active part in discussing transport development and policy in different forums. Transport development and policy relates to issues of sustainable mobility, accessability, infrastructure, public and freight transport - long-distance and urban transport specifically.
