Air quality control
While the top is up, a cabin filter helps to prevent dust and
pollen from entering the car through its ventilation system.
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 indu-
cing 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.
Fuel efficiency
To increase fuel efficiency and reduce carbon dioxide
emissions, all Volvo engines have advanced electronic man-
agement 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 display-
ing current and average fuel consumption.
YOU WANT A WORLD WITH FRESH AIR TO BREATHE AND CLEAN WATER IN THE SEA. FOR BOTH YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN. OF COURSE,
YOU WANT TO AVOID ALLERGIES FROM CONTACT WITH DIFFERENT MATERIALS. AND, IF YOU COULD RECYCLE THE MAJORITY OF YOUR
CAR’S WEIGHT, YOU WOULD. NO POINT IN LEAVING ANY UNNECESSARY TRACES BEHIND. IN OTHER WORDS, WITH YOUR VOLVO C70
YOU’RE TREATING THE RESOURCES OF THE WORLD WITH RESPECT. JUST LIKE YOU WANT TO BE TREATED YOURSELF.

Emission control
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 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.
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.
