The responsibility of progress

The role of the truck has become more and more important in our society, as the demand for fast, safe and economical road transportations continues to grow all over the world.

Reliable and fast delivery is nowadays crucial for most industries in order to improve their competitiveness, by limiting their stocks and long-term capital investment. But commercial road traffic not only gives business and industry a competitive edge, it also contributes to the development of the society as a whole. In many countries, expansion of the infrastructure and a smoothly functioning road transport system are crucial for societal growth.

To put it short: trucks are an important part of today’s society, and they will continue to be so. The problem is that with increased truck traffic inevitably comes increase in potentially dangerous traffic situations and increased environmental impact.

At Volvo, we know all this. And as much as we are dedicated to support economical growth by continuing to build reliable trucks, we’re equally committed to take active part in contributing to traffic safety and a healthy environment.

Because today’s society is not only our workplace - but also our customer.
