Developer portal

Volvo Buses encourages and supports customers and third-party suppliers to develop services using Volvo vehicle data. The way to do this is described in our developer portal, where you can also access various tools and explore more of the possibilities with fleet management connectivity from Volvo. In the Developer portal, you find all guides, instructions and technical documentation for the Connect APIs.

How it works

APIs are used by developers to enable computer programs to communicate with each other over the internet. A computer system can use a line of code to send a request to the API, for instance, to get the GPS position of a specific bus. The API will then respond with a set of data to be used by the receiving system.
