Volvo Group and Daimler Truck launch Coretura - a Joint Venture to unlock the digital future of commercial vehicles
GOTHENBURG, Sweden, June 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Volvo Group and Daimler Truck, two of the leaders in the commercial vehicle industry, announce the launch of Coretura AB, their joint venture aimed at transforming the commercial vehicle industry through a new software-defined vehicle platform and establishing a new industry standard. Coretura will enable Volvo Group and Daimler Truck and other future customers to provide differentiating stand-alone digital vehicle applications for their products.
Following the binding joint venture agreements signed on October 28, 2024, Volvo Group and Daimler Truck have obtained all required regulatory approvals and have now launched the new company Coretura. Following the joint venture transaction, Coretura, based in Gothenburg, Sweden, began operations in the beginning of June 2025.
Karin Rådström, President and CEO of Daimler Truck: "With Coretura, we are setting a clear strategic focus on software development for commercial vehicles. This is a big and really exciting step — not just for us, but for the entire industry and our customers. Together we are starting the digital-driven future of trucks and buses, ultimately making commercial vehicles smarter, more connected, and more efficient than ever before."
Martin Lundstedt, President and CEO of the Volvo Group, adds: "Coretura represents a bold step forward in the evolution of commercial vehicles. By leveraging cutting-edge technology and collaborative innovation, we're setting the stage for a new era of connectivity and efficiency in the industry. This venture underscores our commitment to not only advancing our products but also paving the way for sustainable and intelligent transportation solutions."
Coretura will be led by a four-member Executive Management team consisting of two members from each of the shareholders. Johan Lundén has been appointed as CEO coming from Volvo Group where he previously held responsibility for Strategic Product Planning, Project and Innovation management.
Unlocking the digital future of commercial vehicles
As commercial vehicles are becoming more digital, the mission of Coretura is to build the non-differentiating core, a standardized and open software-defined vehicle platform and dedicated commercial vehicle operating system.
Coretura's activities also include the specification and procurement of centralized high-performance control units dedicated for commercial vehicles and capable of handling large amounts of data. This will decouple software and hardware development cycles, allowing end customers to purchase and update digital applications wirelessly 'over the air,' enhancing safety, efficiency and customer experience.
"This joint venture blends the agility of a start-up with the stability and expertise of our major shareholders. We are proud and energized to lead the digital transformation in the commercial vehicle industry—backed by strong shareholder support and committed to shaping the industry's future." says Johan Lundén, CEO of Coretura.
Starting with around 50 employees, Coretura is set to grow stepwise. This allows the shareholders to pool resources and invest in accordance with technical progress and achievement of milestones. Coretura thereby follows a collaborative co-development approach with its customers, aiming to launch its first products in vehicles by the end of the decade.
Volvo Group and Daimler Truck will remain competitors and continue to differentiate their range of product and services offerings, including their respective digital solutions.
Coretura is open to cooperation and invites new and traditional suppliers and partners who share its values to join in creating the future of the industry.

Octave® unveiled: Hexagon reveals name for potential 2026 company spin-off
Hexagon has announced that the spin-off of its Asset Lifecyle Intelligence and Safety, Infrastructure & Geospatial divisions, and related businesses, will operate as Octave. Octave will be a pureplay software and SaaS company focused on helping customers make smarter, more data-driven decisions across their organisation. If approved by relevant stakeholders, it is the Hexagon Board's current expectation that the separation and listing process will be completed in the first half of 2026 STOCKHOLM, June 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As Hexagon AB prepares for the potential spin-off of Hexagon's Asset Lifecycle Intelligence and Safety, Infrastructure & Geospatial divisions and related businesses, the company has announced that the new business will operate as Octave. This new name communicates the company's intent to increase, accelerate, and optimise customer outcomes. As previously announced, in addition to Hexagon's existing Asset Lifecycle Intelligence and Safety, Infrastructure and Geospatial divisions, Octave will also include ETQ (currently operating under the Manufacturing Intelligence division) and Bricsys (currently operating under the Geosystems division). This new business will be a pureplay software and SaaS company focused on helping customers make smarter, more data-driven decisions across their organisation. Octave's portfolio will help customers design, build, operate and protect assets more effectively, enabling clearer insights and better incident response. "As we prepare for the potential separation from Hexagon AB, Octave will be a powerful identity to reflect the significant growth opportunity," said Mattias Stenberg, current President of Hexagon's Asset Lifecycle Intelligence and Safety, Infrastructure & Geospatial divisions and incoming Octave Chief Executive Officer. "As a separate, stand-alone company Octave will have the depth, scale, and expertise necessary to capitalise on software and services opportunities across the industrial and public sector spaces and deliver intelligence at scale." Collectively, Octave had approximately 7,200 employees as of December 31, 2024, and revenues of approximately EUR 1,448 million with an adjusted operating margin (EBIT1) of approximately 31% for the year ended December 31, 2024, before consideration of standalone costs and using IFRS accounting standards.[1] If approved by relevant stakeholders, it is the Hexagon Board's current expectation that the separation and listing process will be completed in the first half of 2026. Hexagon will provide additional information on the cost of the separation process and other key matters in due course. The separation, spin-off and listing remain subject to this ongoing process and final approval of the Hexagon Board and shareholders, as well as being subject to other conditions, consents and regulatory approvals.

The offering, which was priced at SEK 57 per share, was oversubscribed more than ten times.

Enity has expanded organically into new geographies, including Finland, and completed the strategic acquisitions of Bank2 and Eiendomsfinans in 2023 and 2025, respectively, strengthening Enity's position in Norway. Further, the Company has expanded its mortgage-focused portfolio with an equity release product and included savings accounts as a part of its product offering. With EQT's support, Enity has also made significant investments into developing a modern, scalable, cloud-based operating model to become a truly digital specialist mortgage bank, whilst maintaining its low-risk assets and underwriting skills and forging a path of stable and profitable growth. Today, Enity is a profitable market leader based on the size of its mortgage loan portfolio, with lending to the public of SEK 29.3 billion as of 31 March 2025, in a steadily growing market. Vesa Koskinen, Partner in the EQT Private Equity advisory team, commented: "The listing is a natural next step in Enity's journey and reflects the strength of its business model, technology platform, and its ability to continue creating long-term value through responsible growth and inclusive lending."

Polestar secures $200m equity investment from PSD Investment
Geely-owned electric vehicle maker Polestar has announced a $200m equity investment from PSD Investment, an existing shareholder controlled by Eric Li, the founder and chairman of Geely Holding Group. Polestar Automotive Holding UK signed a securities purchase agreement to sell 190 million newly issued Class A American Depositary Shares (ADS) to PSD Investment. This $200m transaction is structured as a private investment in public equity (PIPE). The shares are priced at $1.05 each, reflecting the volume-weighted average closing price over the five trading days preceding the agreement. Before the PIPE transaction closes, PSD Investment plans to convert 20 million of its Class B ADS shares into Class A ADS shares. This move is aimed at ensuring that the total voting power of its Polestar holdings remains under 50%. Polestar plans to utilise the funds from this equity investment to meet working capital needs and for general corporate purposes. The Swedish automaker has encountered difficulties in increasing demand for its vehicles due to a sluggish market and fierce competition. Like many other electric vehicle manufacturers, it requires additional funding, reported Reuters. Although the automaker secured loans from various banks over the past year, further financial backing from Geely and Li Shufu, also known as Eric Li, has not been forthcoming until now. As part of the transaction, Volvo Cars will reduce its stake in Polestar from 18% to 16%. This decision follows Volvo Cars' move last year to decrease its investment and suspend financial support, responding to analyst concerns about the strain Polestar was placing on its resources, reported the media outlet. In May, Polestar reported Q1 2025 revenue of $608m, up 84% from $330m in the same period of last year. Earlier this month, Polestar expanded its market presence by launching electric vehicle sales in France.
