Case Study: Volvo accelerates automotive innovation with Unity

How Volvo Cars accelerates collaboration and innovation throughout the automotive lifecycle

Volvo Cars partnered with Unity to reimagine how vehicles are designed, engineered, manufactured, and sold. The automaker needed an integrated, cross-department toolchain to connect teams using different CAD, AR, and VR tools so they could collaborate earlier and more effectively across the full vehicle lifecycle.

Unity’s real-time 3D platform became the connective layer in Volvo Cars’s pipeline, enabling virtual prototyping, behavior validation, training, and consumer-facing experiences. The solution improved design-engineering collaboration, sped up iteration, reduced reliance on physical prototypes, and created more immersive buying experiences; Volvo also scaled usage to 40 Unity users, with 25 active users and a core team of 10 building the pipeline and integrations.
