Designed to catch the light brilliantly,
this car also reflects a promise.
Thankfully, the automotive industry is moving away from fantasyland to the real world.
Our journey towards a better environment started already in the early 70's. Then
we were among the first carmakers to acknowledge the environmental downside
of cars and to do something about it. Since then we are constantly innovating to
reduce the environmental impact of the cars and how we make them.
Today's biggest challenge is, of course, to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions
that cause climate change. Today we offer one of the premium segments strongest
ranges of low CO alternatives: the Volvo DRIVe variants. Utilising innovative
2
powertrain technology together with advanced aerodynamics, low friction
technology and lightweight materials, the DRIVe range is an important step
towards zero emissions.
In near future we will introduce new technology such as plug-in hybrid vehicles
that will further reduce CO emissions and can be charged from a standard wall
2
socket. And we're heavily engaged in the development of electrical vehicles – a
technology that will dramatically reduce the environmental footprint of our cars
and make them even more fun to drive.
Good for you, and for the world we share.

Flexifuel for lower fossil CO emissions.
2
Running on E85 bioethanol in a Volvo Flexifuel (2.0F
or 2.5FT), you can significantly cut your greenhouse
gas emissions. Because bioethanol is a renewable
fuel, the carbon dioxide emissions from combustion
is already part of the ecosystem and won't contribute
to greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere.
Brake for energy.
Everytime you brake, the battery is fed with extra power.
Smart and fuel-saving.
119 g CO per km.

Our latest eco-progress, the Volvo V70 DRIVe, satisfies itself with only
4.5 litres fuel per 100 km – for minimum emissions and maximum style.
85% recyclable.
To help minimise its total environmental impact, every Volvo is designed to
facilitate recovery and recycling at the end of its useful life.
Fuel-saving design.
To reduce energy-loss from wind and roll resistance, we utilise advanced
aerodynamic design, light-weight materials and low-friction technology.
Together with state-of-the-art engine technology, this lowers your CO
2
emissions and helps you travel further on less fuel.
