as one of the earliest car companies in the industry to enter the plug-in hybrid field, volvo cars mass-produced the v60 plug-in hybrid model as early as 2012, and continued to optimize the product experience around the core needs of users. the volvo plug-in hybrid family with balanced performance has now become a veritable "hexagonal warrior" in the plug-in hybrid market. at present, volvo cars' electrified product matrix has begun to take shape. the plug-in hybrid family takes into account both performance and long-distance driving needs; em90, ex30, and ex90 are deployed in three new market segments to meet the needs of different users.

safety is synonymous with the volvo brand.

as the first automaker in the auto industry to initiate and establish an official aed alliance, volvo cars is actively exploring the establishment of a social safety net covering the whole country. in january this year, volvo cars launched the "aed road messenger alliance" to all car owners, and organized professional first aid training and aed operation training for car owners in many cities, and funded professional aed equipment for car owners who successfully passed the assessment and obtained first aid qualifications, so that their cars can also protect more lives. as of the end of july, the overall coverage rate of aed equipment in volvo cars' authorized 4s stores has reached 100%.

at the same time, volvo cars is also committed to promoting emission reduction and sustainable development across the entire industry chain, and adhering to long-termism to create a "sense of security across cycles."

in 2024, volvo cars will continue to enhance its value through technological and product innovation. on the product side, volvo cars will strive to maintain the stability of the fuel vehicle market while continuously strengthening its brand advantages in the most promising plug-in hybrid market and establishing a leading image in the fiercely competitive pure electric market. in particular, the launch and delivery of a series of new products such as em90 and ex30 ensure that volvo cars still maintains its brand label advantage of intelligence and safety in the era of electrification.
