Volvo Cars’ Post

Here’s a good overview of Volvo Trucks’ comprehensive take on sustainability - worth reading!

Circular Design of Volvo trucks requires a holistic approach with focus on NARROW (use less resources and energy), REGENERATE (use renewable materials and energy), SLOW (use products longer) and CLOSE (use products and materials again). Great article from Jack Roberts about Sustainability and Circularity. #volvotrucks #circulareconomy #circulardesign #ciecularity #sustainability

. Volvo Trucks' focus on #sustainability extends far deeper than #emissions alone. The OEM is rethinking which materials it uses to produce #trucks, how commodities are sourced, and what happens to the individual pieces when a truck comes to the end of its useful life. “This is not only about climate. This is not only about electromobility. This is also very much about circularity,” says environment and innovation director Lars Martensson. We met with executives in Sweden to get an inside look at these green ambitions. Read more here. With insights from: Lars Mårtensson Elisabeth Larsson

The automotive world is evolving and it's only the past couple of years I've realised just how much. The launch of EV Magazine was a response to the overwhelming growth in emobility discussions, but there's much more to it than that. Pirelli's recognition in S&P Global's Sustainability Yearbook puts the company in an interesting position–to educate those around it as all automotive and motorsport-related industries evolve to deliver more responsible components and champion the diversity within these industries. From adopting electrification to delivering on circular economy, this is a very exciting space—and always has been. #Sustainability #ESG #CircularEconomy #Diversity

TE Connectivity Automotive World #Sustainability #Zero_Emission_Company It has been a pleasure providing this article to Automotive World - talking about Sustainability, facing the scope 3 challenge and on how to holistically strive towards a Zero Emission Company. Thanks to Automotive World and our great TE Connectivity team driving our Sustainability initiatives :-)

Came across this insightful Forbes article by Bernard Marr, and I couldn't agree more with the need to embrace a circular economy in the automotive industry. From recycling materials and extending the lifespan of vehicles to embracing eco-friendly production processes, there are countless opportunities to reduce our environmental footprint without compromising on innovation or quality. As a part of the industry, we should all partake in the mission of a greener future and do our bit- big or small. At our auto-detailing studio Z LAB DESIGN, we prioritise eco-friendly practices by using long-lasting and biodegradable products and conserving water with low-flow systems. Our commitment further extends to energy-efficient facilities and sourcing materials locally. With our continued efforts, we aim to inspire everyone to do their bit, and together, we can create a more responsible and eco-conscious automotive community. #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #AutoIndustry #Innovation #Ecoconcious #AutomotiveDesign

The automotive industry faces complex regulations as it strives for sustainability. World Economic Forum explores a framework called the "sustainability compass" that can help companies navigate these challenges. The compass outlines four key areas for action: ✔️ Reduce emissions: This includes transitioning to electric vehicles (EVs), but also improving internal combustion engines and exploring alternative fuels. ✔️ Embrace circularity: This means designing vehicles for easier disassembly and recycling, and using more recycled materials in production. ✔️ Reimagine mobility: This could involve car-sharing services, improved public transportation, and a focus on walkable and bikeable cities. ✔️ Champion transparency: Companies need to be clear about their sustainability goals and progress. Collaboration among industry leaders is also critical to achieving these goals. #sustainability #automotive #climatechange
