Swedish. Woody. SWOODISH. On June 20th we invited select media and content creators to join us in New York to celebrate our collaboration with Brooklyn-based fragrance brand D.S. & DURGA.  During a Midsummer event, we launched a co-branded candle in the limited-edition scent of SWOODISH. With notes that include pine, orris and birch, SWOODISH celebrates our Scandinavian heritage. Within an indoor Swedish forest setting, attendees interacted with our new fully electric SUVs, the Volvo EX90 and EX30, and a vintage 1956 P1900. Our guests enjoyed a dinner with each serving inspired by a different ambient lighting theme found inside our Volvo EX30. With sustainability top of mind, all the natural materials used as florals for the event were composted, recycled, or donated to parks projects throughout the New York City area. The SWOODISH candle is available for purchase at www.volvocarswoodish.com in select markets with a portion of the proceeds going to our Volvo For Life fund partner, One Tree Planted.

We’re in a celebratory mood at Volvo Car USA today. After months of hard work, production has started on our fully electric flagship SUV right here in the US: the EX90 is now rolling off the line at our Charleston plant.   I’m feeling incredibly grateful for the dedication of our teams in South Carolina. I’ve seen up close the love, care, and persistence that has gone into making today possible. We’ve been operating in the US for almost 70 years and the people we employ make me confident our next 70 will be even more successful.   Everyone who has driven the EX90 knows that this truly is the start of a new era for Volvo Cars – for safety, for sustainability, and especially for us here in the US. I can’t wait for our customers to experience this car. #VolvoEX90

We’ve just started building our new, fully electric #VolvoEX90 SUV at our factory outside of Charleston, South Carolina – so it’s safe to say we’re in a celebratory mood this week! Our new flagship SUV is based on our next generation, born-electric EV technology base and represents a paradigm shift for our company.  Not only does the EX90 expand our portfolio of fully electric cars, but it’s also the first Volvo car powered by core computing technology – a technology that enables a new era of safety for our cars. It’s designed to be the safest Volvo car to date, with cutting-edge passive and active safety technology and software informed by a broad suite of sensors. We produce the EX90 at our plant in Charleston, South Carolina. In recent years, we have made extensive investments in the facility to renew and expand, and it also has a state-of-the-art battery pack production line. So, our US plant is well-prepared to take on this mission. It reflects our long-term commitment to South Carolina, and the United States, where Volvo Cars has operated for almost 70 years through a robust network of 281 dealerships across 47 states. The first customer deliveries of the EX90 are scheduled for the second half of this year.

Last weekend, many of our colleagues joined the Charleston Pride Festival, Inc. parade in South Carolina on June 1, officially kicking off Pride month. And with Pride month in full swing, we’re happy to share the news of our partnership with Stonewall. To help us facilitate a safe space for all aspects of diversity, Stonewall will provide us with guidance and resources on LGBTQ+ workplace inclusion. We’re excited to work together with them, and this partnership will be a boost to our purpose-driven culture. Internally, we have a bunch of initiatives lined up for the rest of June, including e-learnings and webinars to raise LGBTQ+ awareness. We’re also providing travel support and safety precautions to our employees with our updated global LGBTQ+ travel guide, and more. Last but not least, we’ll hopefully see some of you at the West Pride parade in Gothenburg, Sweden and NYC Pride parade in New York, USA! At Volvo Cars, everyone should have the freedom to be – not just during Pride month, but all the time. #LifeAtVolvoCars #FreedomToBe #Pride

"It is too important to keep it to ourselves!" In 1959, the Volvo engineer Nils Bohlin developed the modern three-point seat belt. Although the design was patented, the company decided the patent was to be left open, making it available to all vehicle manufacturers to use for free. In the Interest of Saving Lives. Even if It was a revolutionary invention, and one that probably could have netted Volvo a fortune on patents alone. But Volvo didn't do that, they gave the patent away because they decided it was too important to keep to themselves. #Marketing #design #visual #communication #El_arts4 #Creative Volvo Cars

Shake up your charging experience with a flock of multi-coloured birds! We’re happy to announce that the gaming classic Angry Birds is now available in your Volvo car. In addition, more video streaming options are coming soon, including Max and Peacock. It's a proud moment for us, being one of the first car makers to offer these services to our drivers. The new services will be available to download on Google Play in all Volvo cars with Google built-in. Since your safety is our top priority, they will only operate when your car is parked.
