Telematics, connectivity, big data, cloud services and the internet of things are leading to a digital revolution in the truck industry. The greatest potential is within services, and Volvo Trucks is working actively to realise its target of zero unplanned standstills.

A lack of drivers is currently worrying the trucking industry. In Australia, where the problem is particularly acute, the President and CEO of Volvo Group Australia, Peter Voorhoeve, and his colleagues decided to tackle this with a proactive approach.
