15 Jan
Summary
- New EX60 SUV features an EV-only platform with advanced software.
- HuginCore platform integrates AI for natural language interaction.
- Volvo emphasizes safety with AI agent integration in new vehicles.
Volvo is preparing to launch its next electric vehicle, the EX60 SUV, on an all-new, EV-only platform called HuginCore. This platform boasts a sophisticated electronic architecture capable of over 250 trillion operations per second and features a cell-to-body battery pack. Named after Norse mythology, HuginCore is designed to gather and process information from the vehicle's sensors to anticipate driving conditions, drawing on lessons learned from previous models like the EX90.
The EX60 will integrate Gemini, providing a true conversational AI assistant that understands natural language queries for navigation, music, and vehicle functions. This agent can access Volvo's manuals and the internet, explaining features like digital key sharing or charging procedures. The company emphasizes its long-standing safety reputation as it incorporates these advanced AI capabilities into its vehicles.
Built on the Scalable Product Architecture 3 (SPA3), the HuginCore platform is designed to be scalable and adaptable, with significant code commonality to the previous SPA2 platform. Partnerships with Nvidia and Qualcomm ensure robust processing power for AI-driven features and autonomous driving capabilities, laying the groundwork for future software evolution.
