In the wake of COP30 Brazil, one thing is clearer than ever for us at Volvo Group: heavy transport needs to cut emissions – and it needs to happen faster. Our electric trucks and buses, and construction equipment, are already running with customers in real operations. The technology is here. But we know from experience that decarbonization is like an equation. The numbers only add up when several things come together at the same time: the total cost of ownership has to make sense, charging and refueling to be available where they are needed, rules and incentives must be stable, and transport buyers must ask for and choose low- and zero-emission transport. That is why we work with several technologies in parallel: battery electric, fuel cell electric and internal combustion engines running on renewable fuels. Different applications and regions need different solutions, and we need to support our customers throughout their decarbonization journey. None of this will happen in isolation. We need to work closely with customers, policymakers, suppliers and other actors in the transport ecosystem to make the “equation” work in more places around the world. “Technology is not the bottleneck anymore. It is all about changing a system - if piece is missing in the system, the transition stalls – no matter how good the trucks are.” says Karin Svensson, our Chief Sustainability Officer.

This week, Renault Trucks, part of Volvo Group, is extending its electric heavy-duty line-up with new long-haul models – led by the Renault Trucks E-Tech T 780, offering 600 km of range on a single charge. With these additions, Renault Trucks now provides a complete electric offer from urban distribution to long-distance haulage, giving transport operators more ways to decarbonize their fleets while keeping operations running efficiently. Key highlights of the new long-haul electric offer: • 600 km range for long-haul routes • Optimize payloads for demanding logistics • Silent, comfortable cabs designed around the driver • Confident handling comparable to a 4x2 tractor Together, these new models further strengthen Renault Trucks electric offer for customers ready to take the next step in heavy-duty electromobility.

At Volvo Group, we don’t invest in diversity and inclusion because it looks good on paper – we do it because it makes business sense. When we enable full participation of everyone in the workforce, we get teams that drive innovation, make better decisions, and deliver stronger results. Swipe through to see the top five reasons why diversity drives growth and why we’re committed to making it part of how we work every day.

Efficient, low-impact public transport is gaining momentum across Latin America, and Volvo Group is helping cities turn plans into reality. The Mexican state of Jalisco is adding 53 new electric buses from Volvo Buses to the Guadalajara metropolitan area – a mix of LUMINUS models and Volvo 7800 Electric buses built in Mexico. Timed to be fully operational ahead of the 2026 World Cup in soccer, the new system is designed for busy city operations, with night charging and daytime top-ups to keep vehicles on the road for longer. By replacing equivalent diesel buses, the new fleet can cut CO2 emissions by more than 35 percent – that’s over 140 tons of CO2 saved every year. A clear example of how practical electromobility can deliver cleaner air and quieter streets for city life.

How do you and your colleagues create space for open conversations at work? Talking about menopause should not be taboo.

The Amazon links thousands of kilometers of communities and commerce. In this region, movement is not just transportation, it is opportunity and connection. Powered by Volvo Penta, vessels move goods, services, and people – improving uptime and efficiency along the way. This is a great example of how we want to create safer and more productive transport – practical innovation that delivers results in real-world operations.

People, platforms, and real outcomes. That is Grzegorz Wilczyński's day. He supports his team’s growth, tackles practical implementation challenges, and carves out focus time for coding and analysis. Take a look.

To celebrate International STEM Day, we just wanted to highlight some facts. Did you know that companies with more women in STEM leadership report up to 35% higher innovation revenue, and diverse teams are 1.7 times more likely to be innovation leaders and deliver 15%–35% stronger innovation and performance metrics. That’s why we’re creating an environment where everyone can thrive in STEM. Photo: Stefan Eeckman – design engineer at Volvo Group in Ghent and LEGO enthusiast.

What actually happens inside a mentoring session?  Right now, the first edition of the #tecHER mentorship program is running with 10 Volvo Group executives paired with mentees – all with the shared goal of creating an environment in tech where everyone can thrive.    Here, mentor Rédha Messaoui, Senior Vice President Purchasing – Head of Electromobility at Volvo Group, and mentee Dita Anggraini share what they’ve learned so far – and why “mentorship goes both ways.”    Have you mentored or been mentored? What did you learn – share one takeaway in the comments.
