Volvo committed To Use Blockchain For The 
Highest Level Of Transparency
Electric cars are the new trend ruling the conversation. With so many brands now 
plunging in the pool of electric vehicles, there is a demand for a sustainable batter 
that drives these cars. Companies are doing active research in this field, and 
many have come up with the right solution. Simultaneously, it also becomes 
important that all the components that go in the manufacturing of electric vehicles 
are sustainable and derived without any damage to the environment. After all, the 
objective of switching to an electric vehicle is to save the environment.

Hence it becomes paramount that all the components that are used in EV are 
environment-friendly. While companies make tall claims about it, the automobile 
manufacturing company, VOLVO, has gone a step ahead, and they have now 
incorporated Blockchain Technology to maintain complete transparency. 
The company has decided to merge its mining process with Blockchain 
technology. This will help in assessing the sourcing of cobalt which is used in 
making of the batteries of the EVs.

 It would not be wrong to claim that Blockchain is slowly making its presence in 
almost all the business niches, whether healthcare, education, finance, or 
automobile. Here is how VOLVO is tapping the usefulness of Blockchain and 
using it for enhancing transparency.

What VOLVO is eying at present is sustainability, and it begins right from the 
extraction proves. In VOLVO, they are using it with tracing cobalt that finds use in 
the lithium-ion batteries. The company is a pioneer in this field, and it will enjoy the 
first-mover advantage. VOLVO aims at ensuring complete transparency when it 
comes to the sourcing of its raw material, and that comes with the help of 
Blockchain technology. One of the key features of Blockchain is that it offers 
transparency and tracking of information.

VOLVO is making use of this technology and will be used to trace the mining of 
cobalt. The customers of VOLVO can use this feature and get to know whether 
they are investing in the right product or not. This way, VOLVO uses Blockchain 
technology to assure its customers that they are using only sustainable and 
certified raw materials.

Blockchain is a digital book with all the information stored via cryptography that 
ensures the security of information. It makes the DLT platform free from any 
hacking attack. With this technology, not only will the data be secured, but at the 
same time, it also ensures complete transparency.
