European traffic information provider 2025 Mediamobile and 7192 Volvo Cars have joined forces to provide Mediamobile’s V-traffic information service in 609 Volvo’s in-car navigation systems.

Aiming to provide the traffic services best adapted to the needs of all drivers, wherever they are located, Volvo has opted for V-Traffic RDS-TMC Europe, a suite of local traffic services with European coverage. By offering drivers high-quality, lifetime traffic information, free to use – even across national boundaries – the car maker hopes to help customers avoid traffic hazards.

“Volvo Cars can now deliver top-quality traffic information to drivers across Europe.” said Petter Djerf, key account director for Volvo at Mediamobile. “The central agreement with Mediamobile allows them to focus on enhancing the overall driving experience rather than administrating multiple national service contracts.”
