Volvo Envisions a Bold Future for Its Electric Evolution

Volvo has decided to put chips at the heart of its electric communication. A risky strategy in a market where emotion prevails.

The Volvo ES90 is said by the Sino-Swedish brand to represent a major breakthrough in electric vehicles. Built on the “Volvo Cars Superset” technology platform, it incorporates a unified base of modules and features enabling the development of safer, connected, and more capable cars. This 100% electric model embodies an evolution toward intelligent and scalable mobility.

Equipped with two NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin processors, the ES90 sets new standards in computing power. With a processing capacity reaching 508 TOPS (trillions of operations per second), these systems centralize essential functions such as active safety and energy management optimization. This advancement also allows for significant progress in artificial intelligence, thanks to increasingly advanced deep learning models.

Learning to Grow Better

The ES90 is designed to evolve throughout its lifecycle thanks to OTA (Over-The-Air) software updates. These regular improvements optimize connectivity, safety, and performance, adapting the car to its users’ needs. This approach ensures an experience that remains at the cutting edge of technology while extending the vehicle’s functional lifespan.

Equipped with an advanced sensor suite including LIDAR, cameras, radars, and ultrasonics, the Volvo ES90 is built to anticipate risks and protect its occupants. These technologies, grouped under the “Safe Space” concept, detect obstacles in all conditions and trigger preventive actions to avoid accidents. The ES90 finally illustrates an approach where software becomes a driver of innovation, progressively replacing hardware as the main lever for improvement. Each update enhances the user experience while providing comfortable and safe driving.

If the teaser is enticing, the car still needs to be attractive. Stay tuned for its live presentation on March 5, 2025, at es90event.volvocars.com
