Challenging the Chinese power in electromobility, from Sweden, Volvo has been gaining ground in the manufacture of electrified cars. The company has a wide range of zero-emission cars and continues to innovate with the launch of another sedan.
It is the Volvo EX30, an electric SUV that combines sustainability, safety and performance. With its lower carbon footprint, use of recycled and renewable materials, as well as a responsible supply chain, Volvo demonstrates its commitment to leading the transition to more sustainable mobility.
The new car not only offers an environmentally friendly option to consumers, but also sets a higher standard for the automotive industry as a whole.

One of the most outstanding features of the Volvo EX30 is its reduced carbon footprint. The brand has managed to lower the vehicle’s total carbon footprint to less than 30 tons over more than 200,000 kilometers (km) of driving, which represents a 25% drop compared to other electric models, such as the Volvo C40 and XC40.
This is a significant step towards the manufacturer’s goal of reducing CO₂ emissions by 40% per car between 2018 and 2025.
The Volvo EX30 achieves this emission reduction thanks to several innovative measures. Firstly, its compact size contributes to using less material in its production, which reduces the associated carbon footprint.
In addition, the proportion of recycled aluminum and steel in the vehicle’s manufacture has been increased, helping to further reduce production-related carbon emissions.
As an all-electric car, the Volvo EX30 produces no exhaust emissions, which contributes to a smaller carbon footprint and has a positive impact on air quality.
However, Volvo recognizes that electrification is not enough to completely reduce a car’s carbon footprint. Therefore, the brand is committed to addressing all stages of its vehicles’ life cycle, from design and development to manufacturing and transportation, with the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions as much as possible.
