What we offer
Volvo Cars is on an ambitious journey to redefine the customer experience in automotive through digital technology. Electrification, Autonomous Drive and Shared Mobility are enablers for our purpose – freedom to move in a personal, sustainable and safe way. 
  Software engineering is an increasingly important area in the automotive industry. Volvo Cars is bringing more of the software development in-house to better handle continuous integration and the complex interactions between different functions. Connectivity is an enabler for most vehicle functions but also introduces privacy and cybersecurity risks that needs to be managed through innovative and robust designs.

We have been connecting our cars for more than two decades, and by now connectivity is one of the most important enablers for doing business in the automotive industry.
