It also exhibited advances in hydrogen energy technology with the global launch of the TL Power 300 fuel cell. The fuel cell system has been used in a 49-ton vehicle.

Volvo has also introduced fashion elements like denim and linen to car interiors to promote integration of nature and technological environmental protection.

Notably, life cycle assessment of the EX30’s carbon footprint averages 173 grams per kilometer, which is the lowest among Volvo’s fully electric models.

EX90, due to be launched in China in 2025, features eco-friendly materials, and cutting-edge radars and cameras that help detect potential risks inside and outside the car.

Volvo’s CIIE pavilion also dis-played its carbon neutrality solutions from supply to manufac-turing to final product on a board, showcasing its commitment to achieving zero greenhouse gas emissions and the vision for sus-tainable high-end driving.
