Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE

Volvo Car’s “DRIVe Towards Zero” mission was reaffirmed when it was named most improved brand in the top twenty in JATO’s latest report, “A Review of CO₂ Car Emissions across Europe FY2010″ with average emissions of just 157.5g/km.

Volvo’s attributes its success to the efforts of both its drivetrain and design teams, who ensure each engine and body style is optimized for fuel efficiency, which reduces CO₂ emissions. Along with the DRIVe range, the latest versions of Volvo’s Gasoline Turbocharged Direct Injection gasoline engines together with the newly-announced higher-powered, cleaner diesels help Volvo’s achieve its mission to reduce CO₂ emissions.

The DRIVe range is now available in nine models, with seven models falling below 120g/km, of which three produce just 99g/km of CO₂. Volvo’s belief is that economy should come without compromise. With this in mind, all of Volvo’s DRIVe models have the same style, dynamics, and practicality as the rest of the range.
