The automotive industry has traditionally specified and purchased electronic systems from system suppliers. However, Volvo Cars takes a deliberate and well-thought-out approach to technology: we develop core technologies in-house while forming strategic partnerships with global technology leaders. Our focus is always on what is best for our customers, leveraging vertical integration to maintain speed, flexibility, and focus.
Karl Klang will discuss Volvo Cars’ journey in developing electric drivetrains, key factors driving this work, and how we integrate power electronics through vertical ownership. He will also cover essential disciplines, development processes, and Volvo’s lab facilities.
