Volvo, IBM and Dassault Systemes announced that Volvo 3P (Purchase, Planning, Product Development) will standardize all product development for trucks using Product Lifecycle Management solutions from IBM and Dassault Systemes.

This decision is in line with the recent strategic decision from Volvo Group to standardize product conception and development through company-wide implementation of PLM solutions from IBM and Dassault Systemes in Renault VI, Mack Trucks, Volvo Trucks, and Volvo Buses.
The Volvo 3P organization will implement CATIA and ENOVIA V5 solutions beginning in early 2002 to support its new worldwide decentralized 3P organization. The trucks developed by Volvo 3P are marketed under the Mack, Renault and Volvo brands. The worldwide implementation will give members of Volvo Truck Business Areas' global enterprise, which includes over 50 engineering and manufacturing sites located around the world, a secure, Internet-connected workspace allowing collaboration and real-time 3D product data sharing. Volvo Truck Business Areas' extended enterprise will be directly connected to this new environment over time.
