Volvo Cars has reached its 2025 sustainability target of reducing carbon emissions per vehicle by up to 35% compared with 2018 levels, marking a key milestone in the company’s long-term climate strategy.
The Swedish automaker had earlier set a goal to reduce lifecycle CO₂ emissions per car by around 30–35% by 2025, covering emissions generated during manufacturing, supply chains, and vehicle use.
Volvo says the progress has been driven by the rapid expansion of its electrified vehicle lineup, including fully electric models and plug-in hybrids, along with improvements in energy efficiency and the increased use of recycled materials in vehicle production.
The company is also transitioning its manufacturing network toward climate-neutral electricity and working with suppliers to cut emissions from raw materials such as steel and aluminium. These efforts form part of Volvo’s broader sustainability roadmap.
Looking ahead, Volvo aims to reduce CO₂ emissions per car by 65–75% by 2030 and ultimately become a climate-neutral company by 2040.
The milestone highlights Volvo’s continued push toward electrification and lower-carbon vehicle production as the global automotive industry accelerates its shift to cleaner mobility.
