Today’s heavy-duty trucks are increasingly sophisticated, running on advanced software systems similar to those in modern passenger cars. Connectivity now plays a key role. According to the company, more than one million connected Volvo trucks are currently on the road globally, each supporting a wide range of data-driven services.
Volvo’s digital service portfolio is built around two pillars: Uptime and Productivity.
-
Uptime services use wireless connectivity to monitor vehicle health in real-time, track performance trends, and detect potential issues before they lead to breakdowns. This helps reduce unplanned stops and keep trucks operational.
-
Productivity services include tools for fleet management, route optimisation, and driver support—designed to improve fuel efficiency, safety, and overall driver experience.
“A truck is a work tool for the transport companies, and it needs to stay on the road to deliver value. Our services can really contribute here. In the long run, this contributes to the functioning of our entire society”
says Jan Hjelmgren, SVP Product Management, Volvo Trucks.
Connected trucks also benefit innovation and product development by allowing Volvo to extract and analyse data from the trucks, providing useful insights to create innovative solutions.
“Connectivity is a very important part of the transformation of this industry. With the use of advanced analytical methods and AI, we can analyze large amounts of data and use the findings in our product development. We can develop new products and services that benefit our customers, and make transportation more productive, more sustainable and safer”
Added Jan Hjelmgren.
The company’s interface for digital services for all customers is called Volvo Connect.
