GOTHENBURG, Sweden, Sept. 21, 2017 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ -

Volvo Cars, the premium carmaker, is inventing a new model of car access with

the launch of the new Volvo XC40 and the new 'Care by Volvo' subscription

service. This will make having a car as transparent, easy and hassle free as

having a phone: a national, ready-negotiated monthly fee, combined with getting

a new car every 24 months.

After ordering online, Care by Volvo customers will be able to drive away in a

new Volvo without having to worry about the traditional extras such as down

payments, insurances, taxes, service fees and geographical or customer age

related differences.

Furthermore, Care by Volvo will, depending on regional availability, offer a

range of digital concierge services, such as fuelling, cleaning, service

pick-up and e-commerce delivery to the car.

XC40 drivers will also be the first Volvo customers who can share their car

with friends and family with a new digital key technology. This sharing feature

comes as standard for Care by Volvo customers.

Håkan Samuelsson, President and CEO, said: "With Care by Volvo, we introduce a

new car access for the modern age. In a time where consumers are used to

transparent flat-fees for all sort of services, the traditional process of

buying and owning a car can be perceived rather complicated. Care by Volvo

changes all of that."

The new XC40, launched this week in Milan, will be the first model on which

Care by Volvo is offered. Other Volvo models will be included over time, as

will new digital concierge services.

Care by Volvo is a concept that will develop and expand over time. The central

focus is on offering customers convenient access to the sense of freedom a car

is meant to deliver.

"Our aim with Care by Volvo is to provide our customers with a transparent,

premium car user experience. With a fixed monthly payment, Volvo Cars provides

a truly customer-focused alternative to the traditional purchase or leasing.

Time is a luxury for our customers, and with this service we are able to free

up time in their daily lives. This is simply making life easier for our

customers," said Thomas Andersson, Vice President Care by Volvo at Volvo Cars.

Earlier this month, Volvo announced the acquisition of the technology platform

and key staff of Luxe, a US-based premium valet and concierge service company.

The acquisition is another example of Volvo´s ongoing development in the area

of digital consumer experiences.

Care by Volvo is first available for buyers of the new Volvo XC40 in the

following markets: Sweden, the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Italy, Norway,

Poland and the United States. Other markets will follow at a later stage.
