Volvo strikes deal for plug-in hybrid cars

Volvo Plug-in hybrid By Peter Adams Motor Industry 01 June 2009 17:15 Volvo has taken its next step towards green motoring, launching a joint venture with Swedish energy company Vattenfall to introduce plug-in hybrid cars to the market – sporting CO2 emissions as low as 50g/km.

Vattenfall will be offering customers the chance to sign an agreement for renewable electricity sourced from windpower or hydropower.

Mazda’s ethos is to optimise every component, from chassis architecture to drivetrains, to boost efficiency and driveability.
