There are many convincing reasons to replace the use of fossil fuels, since they contribute to higher levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The growing demand for oil, combined with limited supply, will also lead to continually higher prices.
CO2 neutral transports
CO 2 neutral vehicles are powered by fuel produced from renewable raw material, such as biomass. Vehicles that operate on renewable fuels do not emit additional CO2 to the atmosphere.
Volvo Group has pioneered the development of seven different demonstrator vehicles that can be operated without extra emission to the atmosphere of climate-impacting carbon dioxide. This, together with improvements in energy efficiency and advances in hybrid technology, proves that CO2-neutral transport is not just a utopian dream - and that Volvo Group is prepared to meet the challenge.
Modified diesel engines
A major advantage of the diesel engine is that it can be adapted to run on a wide range of renewable fuels. The diesel engine is one of the most efficient energy converters available to us today.
