Drive-E – un piacere di guida più pulito

Volvo si impegna per il benessere dei propri clienti. Come parte naturale di questo impegno, ci prendiamo cura dell'ambiente in cui viviamo tutti. La cura dell'ambiente significa impegnarsi quotidianamente nella riduzione del nostro impatto ambientale.

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.

Guidando una Volvo, diventi nostro partner nel lavoro di riduzione dell'impatto del veicolo sull'ambiente. Per ridurre l'impatto del tuo veicolo sull'ambiente, puoi:

• Mantieni la corretta pressione di gonfiaggio dei pneumatici. I test hanno mostrato una riduzione del consumo di carburante con pneumatici non correttamente gonfiati.
• Follow the recommended maintenance schedule in your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet.
• Viaggia a velocità costante, quando possibile.
• See a trained and qualified Volvo service technician as soon as possible for inspection if the check engine (malfunction indicator) light illuminates, or stays on after the vehicle has started.
• Properly dispose of any vehicle-related waste such as used motor oil, used batteries, brake pads, etc.
• Per la cura del veicolo, utilizza prodotti originali Volvo Car Care. Tutti i prodotti Volvo Car Care sono sviluppati per essere ecologici.
