Fuel consumption
Volvo cars have competitive fuel consump-
tion 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 environ-
ment 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.
