Who we are

Volvo Cars has been at the forefront of innovation since 1927, and today, with five fully electric cars on the market and another five in development, we are committed to full electrification. Our goal is to become a fully electric car company and achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040. Within the Propulsion & Energy unit, our Power Electronics department is responsible for designing traction inverters, onboard chargers, and DC-DC converters. We are currently developing our third-generation power electronics products for the fully electric SPA3 platform, with the new EX60 being the first car on this platform. Our team is dedicated to improving efficiency, power density, weight, and cost while ensuring the highest quality and safety standards.
