We must minimize the emissions of fossil CO2 (which leads to climate change) and increase the energy
efficiency of our cars. Continuous improvements within aerodynamics, rolling resistance, lightweight
materials and drive train technology help us lower fuel consumption. In our new Hybrid technology
center in Göteborg, we are developing the next generation power trains for future Volvos.

If you drive 10 000 miles a year, you spend at least 24 hours a month in your car. We also know that more
and more people are suffering from asthma and allergies. To ensure a healthy interior for you and your
passengers, we test upholsteries and interiors in the Volvo Environmental Laboratory in Sweden.
All upholstery materials and interior textiles also comply with Oeko-Tex Standard 100 – an international
benchmark for human ecological safety of textiles. All leathers are chromium-free – they’re tanned
using vegetable or synthetic substances instead of chromium. What’s more, some panel trims are Forest
Stewardship Council (FSC) certified to ensure the wood comes from responsibly managed forests.

Already from the early stages of conception we’ve considered our cars’ environmental impact: from design
and manufacturing to useful life and recycling. For example, we’ve seen to that our factories are powered
by wind and hydro power and use energy and water responsibly. Our production facilities are certified
under the global environmental standard ISO 14001, and we make sure that all our major suppliers
meet our strict environmental standards. At the end of its useful life, every Volvo is designed to be 85%
recyclable . We also offer re-manufactured exchange parts which substantially reduces the need for
raw materials and energy.
