At the heart of everything Volvo does is a singular focus—For Life. At this year’s Philippine Electric Vehicle Summit, Volvo takes this commitment to a new level with its electrified future. Under the theme “For Life. Electrified,” Volvo will present its latest fully electric models, the XC40 Recharge and C40 Recharge, from October 24 to 26 at the SMX Convention Center, Pasay City.
As the Philippines’ largest annual event dedicated to electric mobility, the EV Summit serves as a platform to accelerate the conversation on sustainability and innovation in transportation. For Volvo, this is more than just technology—it is about creating a better, safer world. Electrification is not just a step toward reducing carbon emissions, but a continuation of Volvo’s unwavering focus on people, safety, and sustainability.
Visitors at the event will witness the embodiment of Volvo’s For Life philosophy in its fully electric models. The XC40 Recharge and C40 Recharge represent Volvo’s bold vision to be a fully electric car brand by 2030, leading the charge toward a more sustainable and responsible way to drive.
Both the XC40 Recharge and C40 Recharge exemplify Volvo’s dedication to delivering a premium, eco-friendly driving experience without compromising safety or convenience. Equipped with advanced battery technology, these models offer remarkable driving ranges—up to 537 km for the XC40 Recharge and 549 km for the C40 Recharge—ensuring drivers spend more time on the road and less time charging. A fast charge capability of just 27 minutes (10-80% @ 200 kW DC) allows for swift recharging, adding to the convenience of all-electric driving.
Safety is a hallmark of the Volvo brand, and these electric models are no exception. Both vehicles are designed with a range of cutting-edge safety technologies, including: Adaptive Cruise Control with Pilot Assist, Blind Spot Information System (BLIS), 360° Camera, Traffic Sign Recognition, Rear Collision Warning, Run-off Mitigation System, and Slippery Road Alert System. These features not only enhance the driving experience but also empower drivers to navigate confidently, maintain full awareness of their surroundings, and respond swiftly to potential hazards. Additionally, Volvo’s advanced battery safety cage and enhanced body structure ensure maximum protection for both vehicle occupants and other road users.
Volvo’s vision is clear: A world where cars are not only safe but part of a larger solution to our planet’s sustainability challenges. The XC40 Recharge and C40 Recharge showcase this, combining luxury, safety, and environmental consciousness in a way that makes life easier for people, and less burdensome for the planet.
