Volvo announces adoption of Nvidia chips and large-scale die-casting technology to reduce costs of electric vehicles

Volvo recently announced that all of its future models will use a single software system supported by Nvidia's powerful chips and rely on "large die-casting" technology to reduce the cost of electric vehicles. Volvo's flagship electric model EX90 will be delivered to customers starting this month, and all future Volvo electric vehicles will be based on this technology stack. The EX90's software system will be supported by Nvidia's DRIVE Orin single-chip system, which has a computing speed of more than 250 trillion times per second. Anders Bell, Volvo's chief engineering and technology officer, said the software will help Volvo build safer cars and can continuously improve vehicle performance through wireless updates. In addition, Volvo also plans to use Tesla-like one-piece die-casting technology, using large presses to manufacture large single aluminum parts for the car chassis, thereby reducing costs.
