Volvo Cars is first car maker to join SteelZero initiative in support of fossil-free steel ambitions

Description

Underlining its position as a leader in climate action, Volvo Cars has become the first car maker to sign up to the SteelZero initiative, which aims to increase demand for fossil-free steel and accelerate a transition to carbon neutrality in the global steel industry.By signing up to SteelZero, Volvo Cars commits itself to stringent CO2-based steel sourcing requirements by 2030 (see Notes to Editors). By 2050, all the steel it sources should be net-zero steel, which is in line with the company’s ambition to be climate neutral by 2040.Steel production is a major source of CO2 emissions for the automotive industry, averaging 33 per cent of all production-related emissions for a new Volvo car in 2021. Globally, steel production is responsible for around 7 per cent of all greenhouse gas emissions.SteelZero was launched by the Climate Group in partnership with ResponsibleSteel, a steel industry-wide standard and certification body which Volvo Cars has also joined. Through ResponsibleSteel, Volvo Cars gains access to reliable, third-party verified and audited information about its steel supply chain and relevant sustainability credentials, helping to ensure it is responsibly sourced.

  • Hundreds of Corvettes Rev Engines Along Ocean City Boardwalk

    Hundreds of Corvette-owners revved their engines along the Ocean City boardwalk in Maryland on Saturday, for the 30th annual Corvette Weekend, a charity event and Corvette parade of around 700 Corvettes. Brand new Corvettes revved up beside classics in a parade that welcomes Corvettes from all generations. However, Corvette Weekend was bitter sweet because the parade also marks the end of the driving season for many Corvette enthusiasts, especially for owners of rare old models too sensitive for the winter cold. Hosted by the Free State Corvette Club, a club of Corvette enthusiasts, Corvette Weekend includes car a show, rally and a parade down the city Boardwalk as a fundraiser for four different charities, including Spina Bifida, United Service Organizations, Change Inc, and the Therapeutic Recreational Riding Center. And of course, not to be forgotten, Batman was also there in his Batvett, making sure justice was being done. Stylish and well-kept older models and modified road warriors of the iconic and classic American car line the streets of Ocean City for one weekend every year - what's not to love about Corvette weekend?

  • Volvo au CES 2016 : Car Voice Control où comment dicter ses instructions à la voiture

    Le constructeur suédois Volvo Cars tire profit des capacités de la montre connectée Band 2 de l'Américain Microsoft pour commander à distance le chauffage, les vitres ou la navigation de la voiture. "Nous n’innovons pas pour le plaisir d’innover. Lorsqu’un système ne rend pas la vie de nos clients plus facile, plus belle, plus sûre et plus agréable, nous ne le retenons pas. Mais honnêtement : qui n’a pas rêvé de parler à sa voiture à travers un bracelet comme dans les films ?", s’interroge Klas Bendrik, Vice-Président senior et Directeur des technologies de l’information chez Volvo Car Group. Pas sûr toutefois que tout le monde apprécie de jouer les David Hasselhoff en public : balayer du doigt l'écran de son smartphone est autrement plus discret.
