Drive-E: un placer de conducción más limpio

Volvo se compromete con el bienestar de sus clientes. Como parte natural de este compromiso, nos preocupamos por el medio ambiente en el que todos vivimos. La preocupación por el medio ambiente implica una participación diaria en la reducción de nuestro impacto ambiental.

Volvo's environmental activities are based on a holistic view, which means we consider the overall environmental impact of a product throughout its complete life cycle. In this context, design, production, product use, and recycling are all important considerations. In production, Volvo has partly or completely phased out several chemicals including CFCs, lead chromates, asbestos, and cadmium; and reduced the number of chemicals used in our plants 50% since 1991.

Volvo was the first in the world to introduce into production a three-way catalytic converter with a Lambda sond, now called the heated oxygen sensor, in 1976. The current version of this highly efficient system reduces emissions of harmful substances (CO, HC, NOx) from the exhaust pipe by approximately 95 - 99% and the search to eliminate the remaining emissions continues. Volvo is the only automobile manufacturer to offer CFC-free retrofit kits for the air conditioning system of all models as far back as the 1975 model 240. Advanced electronic engine controls and cleaner fuels are bringing us closer to our goal. In addition to continuous environmental refinement of conventional gasoline-powered internal combustion engines, Volvo is actively looking at advanced technology alternative-fuel vehicles.

Cuando conduce un Volvo, se convierte en nuestro socio en el trabajo para reducir el impacto del vehículo en el medio ambiente. Para reducir el impacto de su vehículo en el medio ambiente, puede:
