Challenges to achieve fossil-free production

Abstract

Volvos Group Trucks Operations as a company are making their efforts to complete their part of the Paris agreement aiming for sustainability through making their production of vehicles fossil-free. The problems of this are difficult in part because of the company being so large and in part because of the technology available, which to focus on and which to research. We have been assigned to create a roadmap for Volvo Group Trucks Operations through research and interviews with different experts from different sites from Volvo GTO here in Sweden to find out what in particular every site needs to achieve these goals. What has been concluded from all this are roadmaps for each individual site with specific problems and possible solutions for all of them and the company as a whole. The results shown are very interesting as there are specific problems in some sites that others might have and the possible solutions that may be used and researched. There is a lot of work that has been done and showcased in this report which people can take part of and work with for themselves regarding making a sustainable production work.
