Volvo Cars Revolutionises Future Vehicles with New Tech Stack at Capital Markets Day
Volvo's Superset tech stack facilitates delivering diverse product options under one brand, symbolizing the company's holistic vehicle development philosophy.
Transitioning to core computing—comparable in impact to Volvo's shift towards electrification—this change influences all aspects connected to the car's electrical system, offering boundless potential benefits. Volvo's closed-loop development process, powered by data, connectivity, software, and core computing, enables perpetual enhancements across all vehicle facets through real-time insights and sophisticated computing capabilities, both in-car and at the company's development centres.
Electric technology forms a critical component of Volvo's vehicles. The new SPA3 electric technology base, supported by the Superset tech stack, will debut with the all-electric EX60 mid-size SUV. Building on SPA2's foundations, SPA3 introduces significant enhancements, including improved core computing power, enabling better performance and feature enhancements. Its scalable design allows for continuous development of varying vehicle sizes, enhancing investment efficiency and future financial stability.
By leveraging the scalable SPA3 architecture, Volvo boosts synergies and enhances technological efficiency across core computing, batteries, e-motors, megacasting, and modular manufacturing—all crucial in reducing production costs.
Volvo's Torslanda plant's readiness to produce SPA3 vehicles illustrates the company's advanced manufacturing strategy. This strategy enables the use of common key components across all SPA3-based cars, reducing complexity and increasing flexibility.
