Volvo pilots in-car delivery service in Sweden

(November 25, 2015) With just a couple days to go before Black Friday and Cyber Monday — the busiest shopping days of the Holiday season — Sweden’s Volvo Cars has unveiled a brand new way to take some of the hassle out holiday shopping.

The premium car maker has launched the world’s first commercially available in-car delivery service in Volvo's hometown, Gothenburg, Sweden.

In cooperation  with PostNord, the Nordic region’s leading communication and logistics supplier, Lekmer.com, the leading Nordic online toy and baby goods store, and Mat.se, a Swedish online grocery retailer, customers can have toys, gifts, food and drinks delivered to their car.

Volvo In-car Delivery promises to bring some of the cheer back to the Holiday season by eradicating the more unpleasant aspects of seasonal shopping such as a desperate search for parking space in a busy parking lot, crowds of stressed people and the disappointment of missed deliveries.

The Volvo In-car Delivery works via a digital key, which is used to gain one-time access to your vehicle. Owners simply order the goods online, receive a notification that the goods have been delivered and then just drive home with them.
