Physical AI,
deployed through
your brand.
Hive is building a general-purpose AI model that learns to operate any industrial machine. A single intelligence layer trained across machine types, sites and conditions. Four live deployments on Volvo L-series wheel loaders today. Not a concept. Not a roadmap.
Physical AI becomes the reason customers choose Volvo.
Two ways this partnership grows your market. One makes you sell more machines. The other opens a market you have never had access to.
Physical AI makes Volvo the profitable choice.
The Volvo dealer puts supervised physical AI on the table. A differentiator no competitor can match on spec alone. For electric machines (50-75% price premium), physical AI increases utilization and compresses operating cost, making the economics of electric work. Two strategic priorities at once.
A new revenue stream 2-3x larger than machine sales.
Volvo CE generates ~$8.5B per year selling machines. The operator labor market for those same machines is $17-25B per year. Through Hive, Volvo takes a direct share of that cashflow. Yearly recurring revenue that compounds as the installed base grows.
