Volvo Cars to invest in near-zero emissions aluminium tech to step up its sustainability goals

Leading the automobile industry towards sustainability and net-zero carbon emission, Volvo Cars announced its plan to cut per-car emissions by 75 per cent by 2030. Volvo makes this announcement after a few years of its previous plan to cut per-car emissions by 40 per cent by 2025. So far this year, the Swedish multinational automobile manufacturing company has cut emissions by 19 per cent compared to 2018.
Volvo Cars also announced about joining the World Economic Forum’s First Movers Coalition and that it would start investing in advanced near-zero emissions aluminium tech. The automaker also said it secured access to near-zero emission primary and recycled sheet steel from Sweden’s SSAB for vehicles.
Volvo will be merging the applications of near-zero emissions aluminium tech and near-zero emission primary and recycled steel in its vehicles to set an exemplary benchmark in the industry and reduce the maximum carbon footprint as per the target by 2030.
