Combine known technologies

This is made possible by applying CAST (Common Architecture and Shared Technology). Volvo Group develops complete driveline solutions, systems and components for the business areas and adapts them to their market and application needs.

'By utilizing CAST, as a Group, we can secure higher volumes and reduce the time to market. This means that Volvo Group companies do not need to start from scratch. They can combine known technologies into a new solution and work more with system integration

than component development. As a result, we are seeing new products reach the market much sooner.' explains David Hellstedt,VP Electromobility, Volvo Group. '
