Volvo Cars said on the 23rd that S&P Global Mobility, a division of S&P Global and one of the world\u2019s top three credit-rating organizations, has awarded the company the highest designation: Level 5 SDV (Software\u2011Defined Vehicle). Volvo is the only automaker worldwide to receive that rating.<\/p>\n

The certification validates Volvo\u2019s ability to enhance almost every function across a vehicle\u2019s lifecycle and to deliver greater value to customers. S&P Global Mobility highlighted Volvo\u2019s use of over\u2011the\u2011air (OTA) updates to add safety features, improve the user experience and boost charging speed and driving range.<\/p>\n

Software\u2011defined vehicles (SDVs) give automakers the power to continuously upgrade cars on the road and raise safety standards. After undergoing the largest technological transformation in nearly a century, Volvo can now rapidly convert real\u2011world driving data into intelligent insights and use that information to train future safety and driver\u2011assist systems.<\/p>\n

Volvo\u2019s in\u2011house core system, Hugin Core, comprises the electrical architecture, the central computer, zone controllers and software. Hugin Core will be deployed on Volvo\u2019s next\u2011generation SDV models \u2014 including the EX90, ES90 and EX60 \u2014 enabling a better customer experience, faster innovation and scalable improvements across the lineup.<\/p>\n

S&P Global Mobility, which conducted the assessment, is a leading provider in automotive research and intelligence. It supplies automakers with comprehensive industry data and expert insights to help them make more informed, lower\u2011risk decisions.<\/p>\n

Volvo Cars CEO H\u00e5kan Samuelsson said the company has sustained years of investment and development to build top\u2011level software capabilities, and that this foundation has enabled dramatic advances in both customer experience and development speed.<\/p>\n
