What kind of challenge, you might wonder?
Electrification, even in conventional diesel buses, is constantly increasing when traditional mechanical loads are replaced with electrical equivalents. This is constantly challenging us in how to develop our products and pushes us to explore what’s outside of that comfortable and famous “box” in order to find solutions and opportunities that will shape the future of public transportation.
And it is in the middle of all this that Volvo Buses needs you. You, who are creative, driven and can lead and guide this development from the driver’s seat through collaboration, enthusiasm and passion.


This is us, your new colleagues

In our group, we focus on the development of electrical components and control units, which are used in all our vehicles. Having a global responsibility, the solutions developed within the team can be found in Volvo buses all over the world helping millions of people every day to reach their destination.
