AT VOLVO, THE WELLBEING OF PEOPLE IS AT THE CORE OF EVERY DECISION WE MAKE. AND JUST LIKE SAFETY, WE BELIEVE THAT
ENVIRONMENTAL CARE REQUIRES A HOLISTIC APPROACH FROM THE VERY START. FOR THIS REASON, VOLVOS ARE BUILT IN SOME
OF THE CLEANEST AUTOMOTIVE PLANTS IN THE WORLD. HOPEFULLY, THIS APPROACH ALSO EXPLAINS WHY WE PAY SO MUCH
ATTENTION TO YOUR IMMEDIATE ENVIRONMENT—INSIDE THE CAR.
Air quality control
Emission control
A cabin filter helps to prevent dust and pollen from entering
the car through its ventilation system.
Volvo engines meet stringent international emission require-
ments. Advanced emission control technology eliminates
between 95 and 99% of the carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons
and nitrogen oxides in exhaust fumes. The emission control
system is designed to provide full effect as rapidly as possible
after a cold start—when emissions are at their highest. Right
down to the fuel filler door, the fuel system is designed to
reduce emissions through evaporation when the car is moving
or at a standstill.
Testing materials for harmful substances
To make life more comfortable for people with allergies
or asthma, upholsteries and interior textiles comply with
the Oeko-Tex Standard 100—an international benchmark
ensuring that textiles and leathers are tested for certain
allergy inducing or harmful substances. All interior metal
details are tested with regard to contact allergies—so parts
such as keys, door handles and seat belt buckles comply
with the same standards for nickel leakage as high
quality jewelry.
Clean all its life
Every Volvo begins its relationship with the environment at
the earliest stage of its design. Volvos are built in some of
the cleanest automotive plants in the world. What’s more, our
Environmental Product Information (EPI) allows you to choose
a Volvo model on the basis of its overall environmental
performance.
Fuel efficiency
To increase fuel efficiency and reduce carbon dioxide
emissions, all Volvo engines have advanced electronic
management systems and low internal friction. Other factors
that contribute to fuel economy include efficient transmission
systems, aerodynamic body design, the use of various
grades of steel to minimize body weight, and a trip computer
displaying current and average fuel consumption.
Clean brochure
At Volvo, concern for the environment is important in every
aspect of what we do. This brochure is 100% recyclable.
The inks and coatings utilized for print are vegetable and
water-based. Even the shipping cartons contain 50% post-
consumer waste and are also 100% recyclable.
