Swedish luxury carmaker Volvo is set to cut carbon emissions by 30% in Taiwan by 2024, collaborating with 21 dealerships to implement energy-saving measures and install solar panels. The company also plans to expand its energy management systems and energy storage solutions to further enhance its carbon reduction efforts.
Leveraging government resources for carbon inventory
Volvo begins carbon inventory in 2018 and sets it as the base year for emissions reduction. In 2023, Volvo engaged a third-party organization, the Small and Medium Energy User Energy Efficiency Diagnosis Service Center, using government resources to conduct energy audits for its dealerships.
Following the implementation of improvement measures, there was a notable reduction in carbon emissions, particularly in business electricity use, which dropped from 71% to 57.8%.
