Zero100 Announces New Advisory Board Member

Zero100 today announced that Javier Varela, Chief Operating Officer and Deputy CEO for Volvo Cars, has been appointed to the Zero100 Advisory Board.

"Developing solutions that reduce our CO2 footprint ? and the CO2 footprint of our customers - is a priority. From the way we power our vehicles, to the materials we use to manufacture them, we are investing significant resources in the digital transformation of our supply chain to drive these innovations on behalf of our customers.

"I am very pleased to accept a place on the Zero100 Advisory Board. To be able to work together with others to drive sustainability through digitisation is hugely energising. Only joint efforts, across multiple industries, can combat climate change."

Olly Sloboda, Chief Executive Officer at Zero100 adds: "We welcome Javier Varela to the Zero100 community with great enthusiasm. Volvo Cars has made a bold commitment to produce zero combustion engine vehicles by 2030 and take a leadership position in the hyper-growth electric car market. Achieving this requires a level of digital transformation that exemplifies the principles of a ?Zero100 Supply Chain' - 100% Digital, Zero % Carbon. We're excited for what Javier and the Volvo Cars team will share with, and learn from our Community as they move forward on their ambitious journey."
