How steel is proving a critical component in transport’s journey to net zero
Hydrogen can replace fossil fuels – from steel production to transportation – but to make decarbonization a reality we need cross-sector collaboration.
As the CTO of the Volvo Group, Stenqvist is responsible for determining the organization's technological needs, and is functionally responsible for all engineering technology activities for the Volvo Group’s products and services. This includes determining and delivering on the short-and-long-term technology and development needs of the organization.
The Volvo Group is committed to the Paris Agreement and to decarbonizing the transport industry. The main focus is on developing products and solutions that reduce the CO2 footprint and includes electromobility, connectivity/digitalization and autonomous solutions.
