The ecological Volvo V60 plug-in hybrid

The new Volvo V60 plug-in hybrid will be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show (3-13 March) and it will be a version almost identical to the one that will go into production in 2012. The Swedish House next year will be the first to be on the market with a hybrid model in this class produced in close collaboration with the Swedish Vattenfall company to supply energy.

Emissions will be below 50 g / km and fuel consumption of over 52 km route with a liter. The pull of the front wheels of the V60 plug-in hybrid is due to a five-cylinder D5 turbo diesel engine 2.4-liter that delivers 215 horsepower and a maximum torque of 440 Nm The rear axle is equipped with ERAD (Electric Rear Axle Drive, electrically powered rear axle) in the form of a 70-horsepower electric motor powered by a lithium-ion battery pack with 12 kWh.

The V60 plug-in hybrid has a six-speed automatic transmission. Stefan Jacoby, President and CEO of Volvo Cars, said the upcoming presentation by stating that the V60 plug-in hybrid has all the typical qualities of a true sport wagon complete with cutting edge technology that will surely be appreciated by motorists minded label.

A car that emits little carbon dioxide without detracting from the pleasure of driving.
