Volvo Cars is taking a major step towards its goal of becoming an entirely electric brand by 2030 with the announcement of its new Tech Hub in Krakow, Poland. The new European footprint will serve as a key software development center for the EV automaker, allowing it to develop the technology needed to make the transition to electric vehicles.
The new Tech Hub will be responsible for developing core safety, perception, driver assistance, and autonomous driving capabilities for Volvo’s upcoming EVs. This includes the EX90, which Volvo is hailing as the “safest vehicle it has ever produced.”
Volvo chose Krakow as the location for its new Tech Hub due to its existing presence in Poland for over 30 years and its status as an emerging tech magnet with a large existing telecom sector. The automaker is already recruiting the best engineering minds to join the team, which is expected to grow to between 500 and 600 staff by mid-decade.
The new Tech Hub will join Volvo’s current hubs in Stockholm and Lund, Sweden, and is expected to be open before the end of the year. With this new development, Volvo is confident that its EV sales growth will continue and that it will become a global leader in new EV technology.
