The visit offered participants valuable insights into both Volvo's sustainable initiatives and their cutting-edge warehouse technology. During the tour around their facility, we also had the opportunity to explore their warehouse management process.

They are also committed to battery recycling and expanding their electric vehicle range. 🚗 Cutting-edge technology The warehouse boasts a high-tech management system, the Volvo Car Centralise System, which ensures efficient distribution of vehicles and parts across the region. In addition, this system is designed to support Volvo's long-term plans for Thailand. ✨ Quality you can trust Volvo's comprehensive warehouse management plan integrates five key functions: Distribution Centre, Pre-Delivery Service, Parts Distribution Centre, Training Centre, and Press Car Centre. This ensures a high level of care for every vehicle before it reaches its owner! Aligned with their mission to give people the freedom to move in a personal, sustainable, and safe way, Volvo Cars is leading the way in transformation. They aim to be a fully electric car maker in Thailand by 2025 and are committed to ongoing carbon footprint reduction with the goal of climate neutrality by 2024.
