I just wrapped up writing about Volvo’s green steel leadership, and as soon as I turned around to see what else is in the news, I saw that Volvo Cars has started production of its new fully electric Volvo ES90. What a coincidence.
The ES90 also includes 800-volt infrastructure and a spacious interior. The former means that it can charge super fast. “Powered by next-generation core computing and developed using the company’s Superset tech stack, the ES90 is designed to evolve over time through continuous software updates,” Volvo adds.
“The fully electric ES90 marks a major milestone as Volvo Cars steps into a new era of safety, sustainability and human-centric technology,” adds Francesca Gamboni, chief industrial operations officer at Volvo Cars. “With production now underway, we’re reaffirming our commitment to a fully electrified future and proving our ability to innovate and meet customer demands.”
The ES90 could be just what the doctor has ordered. Volvo Cars actually saw its EV sales drop in August, and it needs something to revive the interest of consumers. “As a fully electric car with zero tailpipe emissions, the ES90 reflects Volvo Cars’ broader commitment to sustainability, from climate-neutral manufacturing to circular economy principles and responsible business practices. It is produced using climate-neutral energy in Volvo Cars’ Chengdu plant, and according to the company’s Life Cycle Assessment report* from July, the ES90 has one of the lowest carbon footprints of any Volvo car to date,” the company writes.
The ES90 could be a big hit. But we’ll have to wait to see. In the meantime, here are four articles and press releases about the new ES90:
