GOTHENBURG, Sweden, May 17, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Volvo Group is calling for increased
dialogue between policymakers and the industry around the future of
mobility at its annual Mobility Transformation Forum in
Brussels on May 23, which will be streamed live on
LinkedIn. The event will showcase Volvo Group's continued
investment in fossil-free propulsion technologies, services, and
business solutions, and highlight the need for investment in
infrastructure and charging capabilities across Europe.
Alongside panel discussions and talks, Volvo's battery electric,
hydrogen-powered and AI technologies will be on display,
demonstrating Volvo Group's industry-leading ability to deliver a
net zero-emission future across multiple transport sectors – from
long haul distribution to inner-city, last-mile deliveries.
Martin Lundstedt, President, and
CEO of Volvo Group, believes that the green and digital
transformation requires increased cross-sector collaboration among
energy providers, logistics companies, vehicle manufacturers, and
policymakers at both the EU and national levels.
"The industry must prioritize investments in innovative and
sustainable technologies and processes with support from
policymakers and other players across the value chain. The ability
to collaborate effectively is vital in achieving our shared
aspiration of establishing a mobility ecosystem that is both
sustainable and inclusive, thereby enabling future generations to
thrive. We stand at a pivotal point in history and leaders must
step forward if we are to make this a reality," says Martin Lundstedt.
The Mobility Transformation Forum program will kick off with an
opening speech by Ebba Busch, Deputy
Prime Minister of Sweden &
Swedish Minister for Energy, Business, and Industry. Attendees can
look forward to insightful panel debates, fireside chats, and an
exclusive showcase of Volvo's innovative sustainable transport
solutions.
Speakers at the event include Pascal Canfin MEP, Chair of the
Environment Committee, Clara de la
Torre, Deputy Director General, Clima, Martin Lundstedt, President and CEO of Volvo
Group, Anna Borg, CEO of Vattenfall,
Oscar de Bok, CEO of DHL, Timo
Kiiha, Head of Corporate Lending Northern Europe for EIB, and Lars
Stenqvist CTO of Volvo Group.
The event will provide media with an opportunity to learn how we
are driving the industry forward to become the first and only world
region to go fully fossil-free by 2040 and interview key
stakeholders from both industry and policy-making bodies. Together,
we will explore what the European Union and national governments
should do to create the required conditions to support and
accelerate this transformation and expedite the green mobility
transformation.
Join the event live on LinkedIn, May
23rd 9:30 am CEST.
