12 years of partnership in an ever changing world

  • BBH x Volvo Cars
  • 2012 - Present
  • Innovation partner

Volvo Cars and BBH are on a mission to drive prosperity through experiences. We’re building long-lasting platforms that makes your Volvo experience better and we prototype new ventures that help transform the Volvo organization at rapid speed.

Our relationship began with a need for Volvo to create their own digital products and services around the car. But it has evolved and today we tackle business critical problems and help the organisation move into the future.

”By 2025, our customers will get back one week's worth of time a year through our cars and services”

Håkan Samuelsson – CEO, Volvo Cars

Progress through prototyping

Today, speed is crucial to keep up with our changing landscape. Together we assemble cross functional teams of specialists from several different companies to create and validate ideas on a weekly basis. We design and develop prototypes in design sprints and test them in users' real environments to evaluate the different ideas' technological feasibility and scalability.

Users, UI-designers, UX-designers, system architects, developers, process leaders and decision makers.
