Volvo Cars has teamed up with the City of Gothenburg in Sweden to create new urban zones that will be used as testbeds for future sustainable technologies, with the aim of achieving a climate-neutral city by 2030<\/span><\/p>\n

The initiative, called Gothenburg Green City Zone, aims to establish an area inside Scandinavia\u2019s largest port city that is completely emission-free, with a variety of climate-neutral transportation modes and a connected infrastructure.<\/span><\/p>\n

Using a real city as a testing ground will enable Volvo to accelerate development of technologies and services in the areas of electrification, shared mobility, autonomous driving, connectivity and safety. As part of the testbed, Volvo plans to run robotaxis operated by its fully owned mobility provider, M, within the zone.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEssentially, we are initiating a project that intends to limit the number of cars in the city \u2013 which is fully in line with our company\u2019s purpose,\u201d said H\u00e5kan Samuelsson, Chief Executive of Volvo Cars.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is already proven by our investment in the shared mobility service M, who have developed proprietary AI technology to improve efficiency and utilisation. We want to be involved in creating the cities of the future and keep them liveable. This initiative gives us an opportunity to do that and take on responsibility in our own hometown at the same time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Examples of technologies to be tested include geo-enabling solutions and services ensuring that cars in the zone operate in electric-only mode and remain within speed limits, as well as traffic infrastructure that can connect to active safety features in cars and share information between road users.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to use our knowledge and technology to help create a future city that is electrified, connected, shared and climate-neutral,\u201d said Henrik Green, Chief Technology Officer at Volvo Cars. \u201cThis is an opportunity to lead by example: by testing new technologies and services in a live large-scale environment, we can show that if it is possible here, it is possible anywhere.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Other potential examples include fully electric mobility hubs; a complete, easy-to-use charging network for electric cars; and autonomous taxis.<\/span><\/p>\n

The main obstacle to climate transition is not a lack of climate-friendly and smart technologies, but the capacity to implement them. The transformation requires a holistic approach to foster innovation and a deep and continuous collaboration between all stakeholders.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since Volvo Cars also has an active role in the planning process of this initiative, it can ensure that, from the start, the zone integrates its electrified mobility services and develops them in a live environment, increasing the impact on sustainability goals.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Green City Zone initiative starts in spring 2021 and will gradually scale up going forward.<\/span><\/p>\n
