From now on, the entire truck industry must double the pace of development

in order to achieve this significant CO2 reduction.

At Volvo Trucks we think this is a positive and necessary step

towards more sustainable transport.

Our job is to help our customers to go through this transition

and at the same time remain profitable.

We know that our customers are very interested in new technology,

but at the same time, this could be a challenge for profitability.

Especially in a business with small margins,

that will limit the opportunities to invest in new technology.

To help haulage companies to do their part,

we think it's important to combine the new requirements

with financial incentives.

We believe that this will be good for everyone,

because this will push new technology to the market in a more rapid pace

and this will benefit the customer and it will, of course, benefit society.

We are ready for the future and we will help our customers

in their transformation going forward.

This is why we have chosen to develop many different fuel-efficient solutions

specifically adapted for each customer's needs.

We continue to invest heavily in new technology

such as alternative drivelines, electromobility, LNG and biogas.

Since more efficient diesel trucks will also have their role to play,

we will continue to develop our whole range

to make them more aerodynamic,

make the engine more fuel-efficient and many other solutions.

We know that from now on our customers will experience a growing pressure

for them to reduce their CO2 emissions.

We strongly believe that companies

who choose to adapt to new business models early on

will benefit from that and be better prepared for the future.
