Volvo Cars to Build Software Development 'Tech Hub' in Poland

Volvo Cars announced on the 8th that it will build a new 'Tech Hub' in Krakow, Poland.

The new Tech Hub will serve as a core software development center, focusing on in-house software development. Volvo Cars currently operates Tech Hubs in Stockholm and Lund, Sweden, and Bengaluru, India. It also has large-scale engineering centers in Shanghai, China, and Gothenburg, Sweden.

As the automotive industry rapidly evolves, Volvo Cars plans to develop all upcoming pure electric vehicles with a software-centric approach. In-house software development is expected to play a key role in Volvo Cars' strategy to become a fully pure electric vehicle brand by 2030 and establish itself as a leader in new technologies.

Additionally, Volvo Cars plans to hire approximately 120 new engineers by the end of this year in connection with this plan. Through this recruitment, the company aims to strengthen safety technologies based on accident cause analysis, driver assistance algorithms, autonomous driving software development, and data analysis.

Jim Rowan, CEO of Volvo, stated, "All Volvo Cars vehicles will not just be simple means of transportation but computers running new software that can be updated wirelessly." He added, "Building in-house software development capabilities and successfully operating the Krakow Tech Hub are keys to future success."
