The Olympic Games in Paris just ended, and The Paralympic Games are soon starting. But preparations for the 2032 games in Brisbane, Australia, have already begun. Brisbane has pledged to host a climate-positive Olympic and Paralympic Games. One area that is already showing signs of rapid change is Brisbane’s public transport, which plays a key role in sustainable urban development. In the northern suburbs of the city, operator Keolis Downer’s fleet of 16 electric Volvo BZL from Volvo Buses with Volgren bodies are already in operation. From 2025 onwards, all new buses purchased for public transport in southeast Queensland will be zero-emission. The aim is to reduce emissions from Brisbane’s bus fleet by 50 percent by 2030, and 80 percent by 2035.

The time has come for emission-free construction sites to be the norm. Exhaust emission-free machines are already on the market, bringing both climate and health benefits. The City of Oslo has demonstrated that public procurement is an effective way to accelerate this transition. Starting next year, only exhaust emission-free machines are allowed in the city's projects. We urge others to follow.   Volvo Group executive board members Melker Jernberg and Kina Wileke met yesterday with Nordic transport and housing ministers along with other invited participants during a visit to #WorldofVolvo, organized within the Nordic Council with Infrastructure Minister Andreas Carlson as host. Volvo Group is actively driving the sustainable transition in the construction industry through collaboration across the value chain. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/grsXbj4i

Our commitment is clear: To achieve 100% fossil-free solutions by 2040. With a diverse range of vehicles across trucks, buses, construction equipment, marine and industrial solutions, we recognize that a single solution won't fit all. That's why we've developed a strategic, inclusive technology roadmap to meet diverse customer needs and drive impactful change. Our three-pronged propulsion strategy includes: 🔋 Battery electric vehicles (BEVs): Ideal for energy-efficient city distribution, refuse collection, and interregional haul. 🚛 Fuel-cell electric vehicles (FCEVs): Perfect for high-energy demands and locations with weak grid connections 🔧 Internal combustion engines (ICEs) on renewable fuels: a a versatile option for those transitioning or where infrastructure for electric solutions is still developing. These innovative solutions, particularly our focus on green hydrogen, enable us to offer high-energy, zero-emission options, complementing our leading battery-electric lineup. Join us in driving the future of sustainable transport!
