Here’s a challenge we think you’ll like: The world’s longest uphill is Alto de Letras, Colombia. The climb is 80,7 km long (!) and has an elevation gain of 3220 meters. Can you calculate how much diesel is required to drive a bus up the hill? The energy density of diesel is 43 MJ/kg, and the rest of the information you need to solve the problem you may assume. How would you approach this problem? This challenge is more about the journey than the solution, there are many factors including gravitational force stealing the precious energy from the fuel, have you estimated them all? Let us know how you did it! Stay sharp with Mind Mechanics 🧠

Who knew that an archive could be such an exciting place? The Volvo Historical Archive holds documents, films and photographs from our almost 100-year history.

Have you ever wondered what it's like to work with different abilities? Do you have fair chances when you apply for your dream job?

Great news for road safety: today Volvo Trucks introduces the next generation of safety systems to protect pedestrians and cyclists.    Volvo’s Active Side Collision Avoidance Support uses radar sensors to detect approaching cyclists. The system can warn the driver and, if necessary, now also actively brake the truck to avoid a collision with cyclists when the truck is turned to the passenger side.    The second system is Volvo Trucks’ next-generation Collision Warning with Emergency Brake. This system was first introduced in 2012 and has been continuously improved since then. With the latest improvements, the system can detect, warn and brake not only for other vehicles, but also for pedestrians and cyclists.
