More reliable intelligent driving

Volvo's safety is high and low , All standard , Set up a safety benchmark . From the standard three-point safety belt to the standard lidar , Volvo has been setting up vehicle safety benchmarks all the way .

this , Volvo will include laser radar and artificial intelligence driven supercomputer as the standard configuration of Volvo's next generation of electric vehicles , It will raise the safety level of Volvo's next generation electric vehicles to a new level .

meanwhile , In real-time vehicle owner road condition data and online remote upgrade （OTA） With the help of the , Volvo will also continue to improve its safety system , In order to realize the “ Zero collision ” Our long-term vision .

Volvo believes in , Automatic driving is the realization of “0 Collision ” The only way , As early as 2012 year , Volvo has been the first in the industry to promote mass production L2 Automatic driving function ——Pilot Assist Navigation assistance system .

Volvo is one of the few companies with complete independent research and development ADAS Capable auto manufacturers , In addition to perception , From the fusion of perception 、 Decision making and control are all self-developed , Most brands don't necessarily have this ability . meanwhile , Volvo's autonomous driving software development company Zenseact Can provide a full stack of autopilot Software .

2021 year , Volvo announced that it will launch the next generation of pure electric flagship SUV Lidar and supercomputing platform are standard on the platform , Make its safety reach a new benchmark . This year, , Volvo cars in CES At the international consumer electronics exhibition, it was officially announced that the highly autonomous driving function without supervision will be launched ——Ride Pilot.

In the industry, we will actively transform the intelligent driving assistance function from L2 Level oriented L3 At the moment of promotion at a higher level , Volvo cars is the safety leader in the industry , Actively promote the combination of safety and intelligent technology , In the era of intelligence, it is still synonymous with traffic safety .

More convenient digital cockpit

In terms of on-board system , Volvo cars' future products will be equipped with self-developed integrated on-board system ——“VolvoCars.OS”, The operating systems it covers include Android Automotive OS、QNX、AUTOSAR and Linux. meanwhile ,VolvoCars.OS With unprecedented complexity , Need strong software self-development ability , And advanced electronic and electrical architecture .

It can realize faster and more flexible function development and upgrading , Just like smart phones or computers , New functions and Applications , Including service experience , Can be upgraded remotely online （OTA）, Let Volvo cars keep pace with the times .

This year's CES show , Volvo cars announced that it will work with Qualcomm to build an industry-leading in vehicle infotainment system , The next generation of Android in car infotainment system will use Qualcomm snapdragon digital cockpit platform as a high computing center , Can meet in the image 、 Higher requirements in audio and artificial intelligence , It has the advantage of ultra-low power consumption .

More Than This , Recently, Volvo cars also announced a partnership with the world's top game companies Epic Games Expand cooperation , Introduce photo level visualization technology into the next generation of new pure electric flagship models . Together, the two companies will Epic Its game development engine —— Unreal Engine （Unreal Engine） It will be applied to the new pure electric flagship model of the next generation Volvo cars , Provide lifelike visual effects for the digital cockpit through advanced visualization technology . Volvo cars has therefore become the first company to develop man-machine interfaces using a phantom engine （HMI） European automakers .

ALL IN Electrification

Volvo cars is the first traditional car manufacturer to put forward a comprehensive electrification strategy , The goal is to 2025 The annual global sales volume of the company in 50% It's a pure electric model , To 2030 Years ago, it comprehensively transformed into a pure electric luxury car enterprise .

at present , Volvo cars has achieved the electrification of all products , All car lines provide 48V hybrid 、 A variety of power options including plug-in hybrid and pure electricity . From next year , Appropriate pure electric products will be put on the market every year . To 2025 year , Will come true 50% Pure electric products .

This year, 6 month , Volvo's first sports aesthetic pure electric SUV New pure electric C40 Recently, it went offline at Volvo car Taizhou factory . before , New pure electric C40 It has been decided , A long endurance version was launched 、 Long range version PRO、 4WD high performance version PRO Inside 3 models , Pre-sale price 26.7 Ten thousand yuan .

among , Long range version PRO And the long endurance version CLTC The endurance mileage under comprehensive conditions is about 550 km , 4WD high performance version CLTC The endurance mileage under comprehensive conditions is about 530 km .

First quarter of this year , Volvo Recharge Proportion of vehicle sales in total sales 34%, Among them, the proportion of pure electric models is as high as 8%, Doubled from the previous two quarters . With Volvo cars increasing the annual production capacity of pure electric models to 15 Thousands of cars , The proportion of pure electric vehicles in the total sales volume will continue to increase ,2022 Volvo's electrification transformation will continue to accelerate in .

Battery products and Technology , The next ten years , The energy density of the battery carried by Volvo products is expected to exceed 1000 Wh/L（700Wh/kg） The milestone of , And implement 1000 Actual mileage in kilometers . meanwhile , With battery technology 、 Continuous improvement of software and fast charging technology , It is expected that by the middle of this decade , The charging time will be reduced to nearly half .

The age of electrification , Volvo also leads in battery safety . Super high grade waterproof and dustproof ability , Cross easily IP67 National standard ; Low conductivity heat source barrier 、 Barrier free heat removal 、 Intelligent cooling 、 Millisecond fast power off 、 Positive pressure barrier 、 Six automatic warning technologies block the power battery “ Heat out of control ”; Excellent structural design , Protect the battery pack structure , Protect the electric core in vehicle accidents 、 The circuit will not be squeezed and damaged 、 Greatly reduce the risk of accidents 、 Improve vehicle safety .

For energy conservation and emission reduction , Volvo's battery products will also use 100% Renewable energy for production . And the valuable materials in the battery will be fully reused , Try to realize the remanufacturing and reuse of batteries . in addition to , Volvo is also studying energy storage and other schemes , To realize the recycling of battery raw materials .

Facing the unprecedented great changes in the global automotive industry , future , Volvo will make efforts in the fields of intelligent driving and electrification , Continue to create more security for consumers 、 health 、 Environmentally friendly travel experience .
