01 Introduction

Volvo and the environment

Volvo is committed to the well being of its
customers. As a natural part of this commit-
ment, we care about the environment in
which we all live. Concern for the environment
means an everyday involvement in reducing
our environmental impact.
Volvo's environmental activities are based on
a holistic view, which means we consider the
overall environmental impact of a product
throughout its complete life cycle. In this con-
text, design, production, product use, and
recycling are all important considerations. In
production, Volvo has partly or completely
phased out several chemicals including
CFCs, lead chromates, asbestos, and cad-
mium; and reduced the number of chemicals
used in our plants 50% since 1991.
Volvo was the first in the world to introduce
into production a three-way catalytic con-
verter with a Lambda sond, now called the
heated oxygen sensor, in 1976. The current
version of this highly efficient system reduces
emissions of harmful substances (CO, HC,
NOx) from the exhaust pipe by approximately
95 – 99% and the search to eliminate the
remaining emissions continues. Volvo is the
only automobile manufacturer to offer CFC-
free retrofit kits for the air conditioning system
of all models as far back as the 1975
model 240. Advanced electronic engine con-
trols and cleaner fuels are bringing us closer
to our goal. In addition to continuous environ-
