PROSPECTUS

Volvo Treasury AB (publ)
(Incorporated with limited liability under the laws of Sweden)
under the guarantee of
AB Volvo (publ)
(Incorporated with limited liability under the laws of Sweden)
U.S.$15,000,000,000
Euro Medium Term Note Programme

Under the U.S.$15,000,000,000 Euro Medium Term Note Programme (the "Programme") described in this base prospectus (the
"Prospectus"), Volvo Treasury AB (publ) (the "Issuer") may from time to time issue notes (the "Notes") denominated in any currency
agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer(s) (as defined below).
The payments of all amounts payable in respect of all Notes issued by the Issuer will be unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed
by AB Volvo (publ) (the "Parent" or "AB Volvo").
The maximum aggregate nominal amount of all Notes from time to time outstanding under the Programme will not exceed
U.S.$15,000,000,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies calculated as described herein) subject to increase as provided herein. A
description of the restrictions applicable at the date of this Prospectus relating to the maturity and denomination of certain Notes is set
out in "General Description of the Programme" below.
The Notes will be issued on a continuing basis to one or more of the dealers set out below and any additional dealer appointed under
the Programme from time to time, which appointment may be for a specific issue or on an ongoing basis (each a "Dealer" and together
the "Dealers"). References in this Prospectus to the "relevant Dealer" shall, in the case of an issue of Notes being (or intended to be)
subscribed by more than one Dealer, be to all Dealers agreeing to subscribe such Notes.
An investment in Notes issued under the Programme involves certain risks. For a discussion of these risks see "Risk Factors" below.
This Prospectus (together with any supplements thereto) constitutes a base prospectus for the purposes of Article 8 of Regulation (EU)
2017/1129 (the "EU Prospectus Regulation") for the purpose of giving information with regard to the issue of Notes under the
Programme described in this Prospectus and is valid for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of approval, until 6 May 2023.
This Prospectus has been approved by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the "CSSF") as competent authority
under the EU Prospectus Regulation and the Luxembourg Law dated 16 July 2019 relating to prospectuses for securities, as may be
amended from time to time. The CSSF has only approved the Prospectus as meeting the standards of completeness, comprehensibility
and consistency imposed by the EU Prospectus Regulation. Such approval should not be considered as an endorsement of the Issuer
or the Parent nor as an endorsement of the quality of any Notes that are the subject of this Prospectus. The CSSF gives no undertaking
as to the economic and financial soundness of the transaction or the quality or solvency of the Issuer or the Parent. Investors should
make their own assessment as to the suitability of investing in such Notes. Application has been made for such Notes to be admitted
during the period of 12 months from the date hereof to listing on the official list ("Official List") and to trading on the regulated
market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. The regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange is a regulated market for the
purposes of Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments (as amended, "EU MiFID II"). Notice of the aggregate nominal
amount of Notes, interest (if any) payable in respect of Notes, the issue price of Notes and certain other information which is applicable
to each Tranche (as defined in "Terms and Conditions of the Notes" below) of Notes will be set forth in a final terms document (the
"Final Terms") which, with respect to Notes to be listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, will be filed with
the CSSF.
In the case of any Notes which are to be admitted to trading on a regulated market within the European Economic Area ("EEA") or
offered to the public in a Member State of the EEA in circumstances which would otherwise require the publication of a prospectus
under the EU Prospectus Regulation, the minimum Specified Denomination shall be 100,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency
as at the date of issue of the relevant Notes) or more.
The Programme provides that Notes may be listed or admitted to trading, as the case may be, on such other or further stock exchange(s)
or market(s) as may be agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer(s). The Issuer may also issue unlisted Notes and/or Notes
not admitted to trading on any market.
The Notes of each Tranche will be in bearer form and will initially be represented by a temporary global Note which will (i) if the
global Notes are intended to be issued in new global note ("NGN") form, as specified in the applicable Final Terms, be delivered on
or prior to the original issue date of the Tranche to a common safekeeper (the "Common Safekeeper") for Euroclear Bank SA/NV
("Euroclear") and Clearstream Banking S.A. ("Clearstream"); and (ii) if the global Notes are not intended to be issued in NGN form,
be delivered on or prior to the original issue date of the Tranche to a common depositary (the "Common Depositary") for Euroclear
and Clearstream. The temporary global Note will be exchangeable, as specified in the applicable Final Terms, for either a permanent
global Note or Notes in definitive form, in each case upon certification as to non-U.S. beneficial ownership as required by U.S.
Treasury regulations. A permanent global Note will be exchangeable, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Final Terms, for
definitive Notes only upon the occurrence of an Exchange Event, all as further described in "Form of the Notes" below.
The Issuer is unrated. As of the date of this Prospectus, the Parent's long-term debt is rated A2, stable by Moody's Investors Service
(Nordics) AB ("Moody's") and A-, positive by S&P Global Ratings Europe Limited ("S&P"). As at the date of this Prospectus,
Moody's and S&P are credit rating agencies established in the European Union registered under Regulation (EC) No. 1060/2009 (as
amended) (the "EU CRA Regulation") and included in the list of credit rating agencies published by the European Securities and
Markets Authority ("ESMA") published on its website (https://www.esma.europa.eu/supervision/credit-rating-agencies/risk). Notes
issued under the Programme may be rated or unrated. Where a Tranche of Notes is rated, its rating will be specified in the applicable
Final Terms along with confirmation of whether or not such rating (1) will be issued or endorsed by a credit rating agency established
in the EEA and registered under the EU CRA Regulation and included in the list of registered and certified rating agencies published

nominal amount of Notes issued under the Programme
from time to time:

(a)
the U.S. dollar equivalent of Notes denominated
in another Specified Currency (as specified in
the applicable Final Terms in relation to the
relevant Notes) shall be determined, at the
discretion of the Issuer, either as of the date on
which agreement is reached for the issue of

markets are open for business in London, in
each case on the basis of the spot rate for the
sale of the U.S. dollar against the purchase of
such Specified Currency in the London foreign
exchange market quoted by any leading bank
selected by the Issuer on the relevant day of
calculation; and

(b)
the U.S. dollar equivalent of Zero Coupon
Notes (as specified in the applicable Final
Terms in relation to the relevant Notes) and
other Notes issued at a discount or premium
shall be calculated in the manner specified
above by reference to the net proceeds received
by the Issuer for the relevant issue.

Agreement.

Notes may be distributed by way of private or public
placement and in each case on a syndicated or non-

Notes may be issued at an issue price which is at par or
at a discount to, or premium over, par. The issue price

the global Notes are intended to be issued in NGN form,
as specified in the applicable Final Terms, be delivered
on or prior to the original issue date of the Tranche to a
Common Safekeeper for Euroclear and Clearstream; and
(ii) if the global Notes are not intended to be issued in
NGN form, be delivered on or prior to the original issue
date of the Tranche to a Common Depositary for
Euroclear and Clearstream. The temporary global Note
will be exchangeable, upon request, as described therein
for either a permanent global Note or definitive Notes
(as indicated in the applicable Final Terms and subject,
in the case of definitive Notes, to such notice period as
is specified in the applicable Final Terms). Such
exchange may take place in each case on and after the
date which is the later of (i) 40 days after the temporary
global Note is issued and (ii) 40 days after the
completion of the distribution of the relevant Tranche.
Exchange of a temporary global Note will only take
place upon certification of non-U.S. beneficial
ownership as required by U.S. Treasury regulations.

A permanent global Note will be exchangeable, unless
otherwise specified in the applicable Final Terms, for
definitive Notes only upon the occurrence of an
Exchange Event, as described in "Form of the Notes"

accordance with the rules and procedures for the time
being of Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg and/or
any other agreed clearing system, as appropriate.

may be agreed between the Issuer and the relevant
Dealer(s) and on redemption and will be calculated on

agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer(s) for
each Series of Floating Rate Notes.

rate, a minimum interest rate (which shall never be less
than zero) or both.

following a Benchmark Event (as defined under "Terms
and Conditions of the Notes").

payable.

to their nominal amount and will not bear interest.
