Aki interpreted when Volvo’s Japanese partners visited Sweden

A group of Japanese businessmen and partners to Volvo spent a few days in Sweden and Gothenburg to look at the plant and learn more about Volvo, this veteran in the automotive industry.

Day one: Interpreting a museum tour at the World of Volvo

The visit in Sweden started with a museum tour at the World of Volvo, an interactive facility showcasing over 100 years of Volvo’s vehicle development and history. The tour focused on the technical evolution of the brand’s vehicles, with participants including Volvo Group’s board members, the CEO, and their Japanese partners
