Volvo Group has been around for 50 years, and the organization is still moving full speed ahead. With the motto "We are here to stay," Volvo Trucks remains firmly on the road, ready to continue operating for decades to come.

Keynote

At a time when our industry is changing faster than ever before and we are operating in an unprecedented geopolitical landscape, we at Volvo Trucks are not standing still. During this keynote, Sander De Smedt will guide you through the key challenges and how Volvo plans to address them.

We're introducing new products that address not only sustainability but also changing customer needs. We'll explore how we're using digitalization and new technologies to optimize and improve our processes. We'll also provide insights into how we don't lose sight of the human aspect in all of this.
