Recently, Volvo Cars announced that all new models will implement online remote upgrade (OTA) capabilities in the future, further strengthening its leading position in online remote upgrades and user digital experience.
The latest online remote upgrade technology will cover more than 190,000 Volvo cars in 34 markets around the world, all equipped with the in-car Android operating system jointly developed by Volvo and Google (the latest version will be upgraded to Android 11). In terms of in-car app functionality, Volvo Cars users around the world (except in China and other markets) will be able to access new apps via the Google App Store, including navigation, charging and parking apps.
In addition to the upgrade of vehicle system software and applications, the latest online remote upgrade content also includes maintenance and upgrade of in-vehicle functions, as well as mobile application function upgrades.
The upgrade of in-vehicle functions includes the optimization of air conditioning temperature setting and the improvement of the energy management system, which will help the car power battery to maintain the appropriate operating temperature under different climatic conditions, thereby effectively extending the vehicle's cruising range. In addition, the Volvo Cars app allows users to view the change in the battery during the charging process of the vehicle in real time.
In the Chinese market, models that are already equipped with the new Volvo intelligent interconnection system can be updated to version 2.0 through this online remote upgrade, and support a number of well-known app and service upgrades, including AutoNavi navigation, Tencent Aiqu Listening, etc.
Through autonomous software development and online remote upgrade services, Volvo Cars will continuously expand new features to continuously improve the user experience. Since the beginning of last year, Volvo Cars has regularly offered online remote upgrades in most markets, and the number of cars covered with each upgrade is increasing.
