    The large 90 series, along with the 60 series will be built on SPA and Volvo intends to launch a global lineup of the smaller 40 series, based on CMA. And of course, all of these vehicles will be electrified in order to achieve the big goal.

    Fun thing is that this new brand commitment has been named “omtanke” that in Swedish means “consideration” and “caring”.
