Earlier this month, Volvo Cars announced that it is offering a range of updates to its global connected services program as well as its award-winning Sensus in-car user interface, starting with the all-new Volvo XC60 SUV and the brand’s existing and new Volvo 90 Series cars. Here at your Volvo dealership serving Northbook, Fields Volvo Northfield, we’re more than pleased to be associated with a brand that puts such a focus on connectivity and safety.
The Volvo brand’s innovative In-car Delivery service, which is a part of the Volvo On Call smartphone app was launched back in 2015 and allows for one-time digital access for deliveries to your car. Bjorn Annwall, Senior Vice President Global Consumer Experience at Volvo Car Group, had this to say about the roll out:
"This is just the start. Our roll out of one of the most
comprehensive and customer-relevant services in the industry is now shifting up
a gear and you will see more convenient and time-saving services offered to
Volvo Cars’ customers in the coming months."
To support these new services, the connected smartphone app has undergone a total redesign. It is one of the most widespread connected car platforms available today, with service in around 50 countries expected by the end of 2017. The increasing growth in both penetration and popularity of the app comes from an increasing desire for car drivers to stay connected and be able to access their car and features even when they’re not in the vehicle. About the Volvo On Call system, Mr. Annwall continued to say:
"The role of Volvo On Call has changed from remote car access app to a platform that functions as the main entry point for Volvo Cars’ customers to an increasingly broad selection of connected services. We are at the forefront of this shift in car technology and service provision. Eventually you might not even need to own a Volvo to benefit from the services offered via the Volvo On Call smartphone app."
