As we enter August, international women’s month, let’s spotlight Volvo’s influential female minds. The Volvo Group has been working systematically to improve gender balance and inclusion for over a decade. As a company, we are fortunate to have some strong female leaders within our organization. They are not only professionals, but also mothers, sisters, aunts, and individuals with exceptional minds.

It was in June 2002 that Volvo made headlines. The idea of Camilla Palmertz and a small team of colleagues was presented to Hans-Olov Olsson, the president and CEO of Volvo Car Corporation. Your concept car is targeted at the professional female, made by women for women. According to Camilla Palmertz, one of the two project managers, the concept car is for everyone; women have merely been included. As she said, “if you meet a woman’s expectations, you exceed a man’s”. By the most prestigious magazine in the automotive industry, Automotive News Europe, all nine women involved in this initiative were awarded women of the year 2005.

Women form an increasingly important client base for CMH Volvo Cars Umhlanga and the group. Volvo has a long tradition of studying what women want in cars. A women’s reference group was formed at Volvo in the 1980s. This group called on female staff members to test and assess new models at a very early stage of their development. At Volvo Cars Umhlanga we encourage our female staff to offer suggestions, and to speak up when they have ideas; after all, you never know who the next genius among us may be.

During the development of the XC90, the company convened a female focus group to help shape the Volvo SUV’s features and functions. Volvo is always at the forefront of gender equality, and they are always associated with positive news and views about females in the industry.

In 2021 the Volvo Group signed up to be a part of the “Women in Leadership Positions” report published by the European Round Table for Industry (ERT). This document aims to demonstrate a growing corporate culture at a wide range of European multinationals, promoting inclusion and gender equality by enhancing women’s career advancement to leadership positions. So, let’s partner up today, come in and do a deal! Gender equality starts with you.

We know what you are thinking, yes, we already have an XC40 P8 recharge in South Africa, but Volvo is extending their electric line-up with the introduction of the XC40 P6 recharge and we at CMH Volvo Cars Umhlanga wanted to be the first to let you know.

The P6 Recharge features a single electric motor driving the front wheels whereas the P8 makes use of twin electric motors driving the front and rear axles. The P6 front-wheel-drive variant delivers the power of 170kW and 330Nm torque, which offers lively performance and a 0-100km sprint of 7.4 seconds.

Whether plugging in at home or at the ever-expanding network of public charging points, the standard 11-kW onboard charger fitted to the XC40 P6 provides competitive charging capabilities for the 69kWh lithium-ion battery, which provides a useable range of 423 km.

The pricing for this vehicle has not yet officially been released, but it will offer a more affordable entry into Volvo’s EV stable of vehicles than the current R1260000 price tag of the XC40 P8. This does not mean that buyers can expect anything less than a full house of Volvo’s comfort and convenience features and their famed and innovative safety features to be included in the price. CMH Volvo Cars Umhlanga will announce the arrival of the vehicle on their showroom floor the moment one becomes available to us. We are as eager as you are for this arrival.

This compact SUV, designed with a purpose for our planet, serves more than sleek looks and is in its element in the city or in the country. Explore your world in the eco-friendly Volvo XC40 P6 with zero tailpipe emissions and reap the benefits of massive fuel savings! CMH Volvo Cars Umhlanga ensures you get all the information you need on the vehicles we have to offer.

Volvo Cars are integrating and testing a new wireless charging technology in a live city environment together with selected partners and evaluating its potential for future electric cars.

The wireless charging test is one of many projects outlined within the strategic initiative Gothenburg Green City Zone. Under this initiative, designated areas within the city are used as live testbeds for the development of sustainable technologies. To easily align the car with the docking pad, Volvo Cars will use its 360-degree camera system. The charging station then sends energy through the recharging pad, which is picked up by a receiver unit in the car.

“Gothenburg Green City Zone lets us try exciting new technologies in a real environment and evaluate them overtime for a potential future broader introduction,” said Mats Moberg, head of Research and Development at Volvo Cars. “Testing the latest charging technologies together with selected partners is a helpful way to evaluate alternative charging options for our future cars.”

The charging stations used in the test are provided by Momentum Dynamics, a leading provider of wireless electric charging systems. The charging starts automatically when a compatible vehicle park over a charging pad embedded in the street, allowing drivers to conveniently recharge without getting out of their car.

Last year, Volvo Cars took part in launching the Gothenburg Green City Zone initiative, which aims to achieve emission-free transport by 2030. Using a real city as a testing ground will enable the company to accelerate the development of technologies and services in the areas of electrification, shared mobility, autonomous driving, connectivity, and safety.

We cannot wait to see the outcome of this testing phase. What a time to be alive and what pride one should have that they drive a Volvo.

The Volvo brand is technologically advanced and environmentally friendly. Visit our Umhlanga dealership today.
