This is us, your new colleagues

We test GTT's complete software deliveries and understand the full product, hardware, and software. We believe that working with Software is a creative process and it should be fast! The engineers should focus on the technical challenges of our products and not the shortcomings of our development tools or processes. Our mission is to provide the best development toolchain in the automotive business for the Software Developers in Volvo Group Trucks Technology. By this we can bring new products to the market faster than our competitors.
Electrification and CO2 challenges are keeping us busy, just like the need for improved effectiveness and efficiency in our software release flow. As part of GTTs (Group Trucks Technology) Vehicle Technology, we are working globally with all sites and with our colleagues in the other engineering departments.
