The DRIVe-models - After the S40 with start/ stop technology has been voted no. one by the the UK´s largest car magazine "What car?" last year, now the C30 DRIVe convinced the testers of "Auto, Motor und Sport" (issue 04/2010) and left the competition far behind together with the Golf 1,6 TDI Blue Motion; even the often-praised Toyota Prius -which ended up third.

Auto, Motor, Sport had worked out a test-route of 280 km with a split on city trafficv (80 km), country roads and highway (200 km). All cars were driven by various editors several times. At the end of the "real life test" both Volvo and VW had emissions of 124g/ km CO2 (4,7l/ 100km) and the Prius had 128g/ km (5,5l/ 100km).

Competitors have been: 1. Volvo C30 1,6 DRIVe, 1. VW Golf 1,6 TDS Blue Motion, 3. Toyota Prius, 4. Mercedes B 180 NGT, 5. Audi A3 1,6 TDIe, 5. Mercedes A 160 CDI, 7. Honda Insight, 8. Hyundai i30cw, 8. BMW 116d, 10. VW Golf 1,6 Bi-Fuel.

Volvo offers 7 DRIVe-models in it´s product-range ! Test it now!

Old - but still good Volvo-News:

"Cars are driven by people. Therefore, the guiding principle behind everything we make at Volvo is - and must remain - safety."." --Assar Gabrielsson und Gustaf Larson (Founders of Volvo)

After 36.000 crashes, you begin to know what you´re doing...

The best way to learn what really happens before, during and after a car crash, is to be there. Since 1970, Volvo´s Accident Research Team has investigated accidents involving Volvo cars on Swedish roads. Today, our own statistical database contains over 36.000 accidents with more than 60.000 occupants.

Our accident researchers are on stand-by 24/7. If there´s an accident involving a newer Volvo car within 100 km from Göteborg, our researchers are instantly alerted by the rescue team. In addition to studies on the scene of the accident, our researchers also investigate what happened before the crash to understand how to improve the driver´s conditions to avoid a collision.

These findings give us unique knowledge that guides us in creating technology that helps prevent accidents from happening and - if an accident can´t be avoided - to help protect the occupants. The result is Volvo safety - a privilege not only available for Swedes, but for people all over the world.
