Volvo signs up with traffic tech company for live services

Volvo will use traffic technology company INRIX to develop the brand’s first live traffic service.

INRIX will provide Volvo drivers with real-time and predictive traffic flow information for routes, travel times, and alerts to accidents and incidents.

INRIX real-time traffic is available this month in the XC90 and it will be rolled out in all future models.

Fredrik Marthinsson, Volvo manager connected navigation and services, said: “The addition of INRIX Traffic is the next step in providing drivers with useful services for their everyday life in the car.

“The real-time, dynamic flow of traffic information will allow Volvo drivers to find the fastest route with precise ETAs to their destination.”
