Carbon footprint report
UsageIn October 2019, Volvo Cars launched one of the most ambitious climate action plans in the automotive industry. It aims to reduce the lifecycle Carbon Footprint per average vehicle by 40 per cent between 2018 and 2025, as a first step towards becoming a climate neutral company by 2040. The plan represents concrete actions in line with the Paris Agreement of 2015, which seeks to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. Volvo Cars also committed to communicating improvements from concrete short-term actions in a trustworthy way, including the disclosure of the Carbon Footprint of all new models, starting with the XC40 Recharge – a battery electric vehicle (BEV).
