Volvo Cars and the environment
Volvo Car Corporation’s
environmental philosophy
Environmental care, safety and quality are the
three core values which influence all opera-
tions of the Volvo Car Corporation. We also
believe that our customers share our consid-
eration for the environment.
Your Volvo complies with strict international
environmental standards and is also
manufactured in one of the cleanest and most
resource-efficient plants in the world. Volvo
Car Corporation has global certification to
the ISO 14001 environmental standard.
This
standard supports the work within the area of
the environment.
EPI (Environmental Product Information) is
supplied for all Volvo models.
There you can
see how the car’s lifecycle affects the
environment.

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. For more information read
under the heading Reducing environ-
mental impact
on 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 when
the ozone passes the radiator.
The higher the
ozone content in the air the more ozone is
converted.
