Fuel consumption
Volvo cars have competitive fuel
consumption in each of their respective
classes. Lower fuel consumption generally
results in lower emission of the greenhouse
gas, carbon dioxide.
It is possible for the driver to influence fuel
consumption, see page 4.
Efficient emission control
Your Volvo is manufactured following the
concept
Clean inside and out
– a concept
that encompasses a clean interior
environment as well as highly efficient
emission control. In many cases the exhaust
emissions are well below the applicable
standards.
In addition there is a special radiator coating,
PremAir®
1
, which can convert hazardous
ground-level ozone into pure oxygen.
