All-electric Volvo ES90 to debut soon
By CARSIFU | 21 February 2025
GOTHENBURG, Sweden: The all-new Volvo ES90 will be revealed to the world on March 5, 2025.
The ES90 is the first Volvo car to be equipped with a dual NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin configuration.
DRIVE AGX Orin is NVIDIA’s core computer for intelligent cars that orchestrates various essential systems and processes inside the car at ultra-fast speeds.
With a high level of computational power – around 508 trillion operations per second (also known as TOPS) – it manages functionalities such as AI-based, state-of-the-art active safety features, car sensors and efficient battery management.
The NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin-powered primary core computer provides an eightfold improvement in AI compute performance compared with DRIVE AGX Xavier.
The ES90 is built on Volvo's SPA2 architecture and is the second car based on the Volvo Cars Superset tech stack, following the EX90.
The Superset tech stack consists of one single set of hardware and software modules and systems that underpin all our upcoming electric cars.
It represents a radical transformation in how Volvo can develop and use software to improve levels of safety, technology and overall performance throughout the car’s lifecycle.
With the Superset tech stack, Volvo can make such improvements more efficiently and roll them out even faster via over-the-air updates and across all models based on the Superset.
Such updates might include new connectivity features, safety improvements and other enhancements that can elevate the performance of the car, such as a better battery range for certain driving behaviours.
Continuous improvement via regular over-the-air updates now comes as standard on Volvo cars.
Software now replaces hardware as the primary driver of innovation and value creation for Volvo customers.
The ES90 combines an exceptional understanding of its surroundings through an advanced array of sensors, which includes one lidar, five radars, eight cameras and twelve ultrasonic sensors, as well as an advanced driver understanding system inside the car.
The dual NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin configuration will also be implemented on EX90 cars, upgrading its current version which includes DRIVE AGX Orin and DRIVE AGX Xavier,
Existing customers of the EX90 will get an upgrade of their cars free of charge.
