In work, as in life, there is a virtuous circle between what we do and the manner in which we do it. Having ‘good’ products that work well are essential – but being a responsible corporate citizen requires that we do more than that. Volvo Construction Equipment’s whole approach – encompassing our products, factories, partners and services – is to create a symbiotic relationship between quality, safety and environmental care.
This approach does not stop at the factory gates, of course, and is vigorously promoted to our customers, the wider industry and society in general. The words
Quality, Safety and
Environmental Care are central to the genetic make-up of Volvo Construction Equipment – demonstrated in thousands of practical ways by our employees and our products every day.
Quality: Volvo is committed to being number one in customer satisfaction by prioritizing reliability, focusing on customer needs, and paying attention to details. For instance, in 2010, Volvo CE began fitting most machines with our CareTrack telematics system as standard. The innovative CareTrack system helps owners increase machine productivity, fuel efficiency and security, and gives equipment managers more control over their fleets.

Safety: Volvo is seen as the industry leader in safe equipment and operating practices. But ‘safety is no accident’, and Volvo is constantly developing new methods of safe operation, as well as new technologies to improve machine safety. Manifestations of this commitment include the Volvo CareCab, an operator environment that leads the industry in safety and comfort, and the Full-Suspension system introduced in articulated haulers in 2007, which maximizes safe hauling speeds.

Environmental care: Volvo takes very seriously its commitment to caring for the environment – through the development of innovative solutions, emissions reduction and alternative fuels. Environmental care has been a formal priority at Volvo ever since 1972, when then-CEO Pehr G. Gyllenhammar formulated the company’s first-ever environmental declaration.
