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.”
