The new Volvo C30, S40 and V50 1.6D DRIVe - with CO2 emissions of 115 and 118 g/km
At Paris Motor Show in early October, Volvo Cars is presenting economical new diesel variants of the C30, S40 and V50 models with fuel consumption of just 4.4 litres/100 km (C30) or 4.5 litres/100 km (S40 and V50). The corresponding CO2 figures of 115 and 118 g/km mean that the C30 and V50 have best-in-class CO2 emissions in their segments. All three models - the C30, S40 and V50 - are equipped with a special set of efficiency-enhancing features and marked with the DRIVe emblem to signal their uprated environmental properties.
The DRIVe models are based on the Volvo C30 Efficiency concept car that was shown at the Frankfurt motor show in October 2007. The measures adopted to reduce CO2 emissions that were presented then will be in production before the end of the year in the C30, S40 and the V50.
"We wanted to demonstrate that low CO2 ratings are not solely the preserve of small diesel cars. By offering the Volvo V50 with emission levels below 120 g CO2/km, we are also making it possible for families and other customers who require extra space to make an active pro-environmental choice," says Volvo Cars President and CEO Fredrik Arp.
Holistic approach to eco-performance
The reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions was brought about by meticulously analysing the cars' total potential for more efficient, more economical driving. The cars were then optimised within four distinct areas:
Reduced air resistance:
* Chassis height reduced by about 10 mm. Same comfort setting as the standard car.
* Spoiler at the front, the same as on the T5 (S40 and V50).
* Covered radiator grille. Behind the characteristic Volvo grille there is a wind-deflecting panel that provides better aerodynamics inside the engine compartment.
* Wind deflectors in front of the front wheels.
* Aerodynamically optimised wheels of special design. Available in 15 and 16 inch sizes.
* Underbody panels for more efficient airflow under the car as well (C30).
* Unique rear spoiler (C30). The S40 has the same spoiler as the T5 and D5 models.
* New rear bumper (C30).
Lower rolling resistance:
* All the cars are equipped as standard with a new generation of Michelin tyres with low rolling resistance. Available for 15 and 16 inch wheels.
Higher ratios:
* Gearbox with altered ratios for third, fourth and fifth gears.
More efficient driveline:
* Optimised engine cooling, engine management and power steering.
* New transmission oil with lower friction.
* Gearchange indicator in the information display.
"Changing the transmission oil gives us a 0.75 percent lower fuel consumption. Tyres with low rolling resistance save another two percent. Each of these measures may seem rather modest, but it is important to look at the whole picture. Taken together, all the small adjustments have helped us achieve our aim, with emissions below 120 g/km for all three cars. Without in any way compromising on either driving properties or comfort, which was an important requirement," says Magnus Jonsson, Senior Vice President, Research & Development at Volvo Cars.
Volvo C30 best in the ECO test
Volvo's DRIVe cars are all certified according to the mandatory European NEDC standard. In addition, the Volvo C30 has excelled in the ECO test, which carries out even more comprehensive measurements of CO2 and particulate emissions. This certification process relies on stars and points, in a similar way to the EuroNCAP programme for safety. The independent ECO test places the Volvo C30 at the top of its size category, with four stars and 76 points in the overall assessment of the car's total environmental performance.
Benefits for the environment and economy
Reducing fuel consumption and dropping below the 120 g/km CO2 emission level offers a range of benefits, both for the environment and the buyer's economy. With lower carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, these cars reduce the net contribution to global warming. All new diesel models from Volvo are also fitted with a maintenance-free particle filter that traps about 95 percent of all soot particles.
With the cars' good environmental performance, the driver can count on various financial incentives in the form of subsidies in the 13 European markets that have implemented a CO2-based vehicle taxation system, for instance with a "green grant" that is paid to the owner, lower road tax, registration tax exemption or other similar forms of financial encouragement.
Rising fuel prices also make our 1.6D DRIVe offer very attractive. The fuel consumption has been reduced by 0.5 l/100 km and is as low as 3.7 l/100 km at highway speeds.
Sold throughout Europe
"We will offer our diesel-powered DRIVe cars throughout Europe, even in countries that today do not offer any form of financial incentive. We are doing this to give everyone the opportunity to choose a pro-environmental alternative from Volvo. For us it is not simply a question of short-term sales - it also clearly shows how strongly Volvo prioritises environmental properties throughout the product range, both today and for the future," says Fredrik Arp.
Volvo Cars expects to sell over 20,000 1.6D DRIVe cars next year in Europe. Sales are expected to spread fairly uniformly throughout the region, with France, Sweden and Spain accounting for most sales. The reason for this is the particularly favourable terms offered to buyers in these countries.
The price supplement for the DRIVe package is estimated at between 150 and 450 euros depending on model and market. The DRIVe cars can be specified with most of the options and accessories that Volvo offers, apart from those that affect the cars' aerodynamic properties.
"The higher price must be regarded as particularly modest bearing in mind the advantages the customer gains in the form of environmental incentives and reduced fuel consumption. We also believe customers will appreciate the opportunity to tailor their DRIVe car by choosing from the wide range of options available," adds Fredrik Arp.
The most eco-friendly car range
Apart from these three diesel-powered DRIVe cars, Volvo also offers a comprehensive Flexifuel range encompassing five car models and three bioethanol engines. All told, this means that Volvo Cars today offers the market's widest range of premium cars with a low environmental imprint.
Volvo Cars is also conducting intensive research into hybrid technology and future alternative fuels. The attention-grabbing Volvo ReCharge Concept plug-in hybrid and Ford Motor Company's decision to establish its European hybrid centre in Volvo's home town, Göteborg, clearly highlight the environment-technology potential there is within the company.

| Volvo presents seven new cars with the green DRIVe badge - all with best-in-class CO2 levels
At the Geneva motor show, Volvo Cars is presenting no less than seven fuel-efficient DRIVe models. All with best-in-class CO2 emission levels. The extremely low figures for the C30, S40 and V50 have been achieved thanks to an advanced Start/Stop system.
* Volvo C30, 3.9 l/100km, 104g CO2/km
* Volvo S40, 4.0 l/100km, 107g, CO2/km
* Volvo V50, 4.0 l/100km, 107g, CO2/km
* Volvo V70, 4.9 l/100km, 129g, CO2/km
* Volvo S80, 4.9 l/100km, 129g CO2/km
* Volvo XC60, 6.0 l/100km, 159g CO2/km
* Volvo XC70, 6.0 l/100km, 159g CO2/km
The DRIVe badge is attached to cars in the Volvo range that have the best environmental performance in their class. All today's DRIVe models are equipped with a conventional diesel engine and manual gearbox optimised for extra-low fuel consumption. These cars are also tailored specifically for low rolling resistance and reduced air drag.
"Our dedicated focus on the DRIVe models in 2009 demonstrates Volvo Cars' ability to quickly respond to customers' increasing demands for products with low fuel consumption and low environmental impact. At the Paris motor show in 2008, we began our broad-based launch of the DRIVe models via the C30, S40 and V50. Now both the market and we are ready to step up to the next stage," says Stephen Odell, President and CEO of Volvo Cars.
"By supplementing the DRIVe range with the larger V70, S80, XC60 and XC70, Volvo also has one of the premium segment's strongest ranges of attractive, fuel-efficient cars offering excellent environmental properties," continues Stephen Odell.
DRIVe at three levels: 120g, 140g, 160g
The Volvo Cars DRIVe range is divided into three categories linked to three emission levels: 120, 140, and 160g CO2/km.
"The categories signal Volvo's highly ambitious CO2 targets in each respective segment. They also match the special CO2 tax brackets and other governmental green-car incentives found in many European countries. Our aim is to continue to further reduce these levels as we develop new, even more environmentally optimised products," explains Stephen Odell.
C30, S40, V50 way below 120g
As of spring 2009, the Volvo C30, S40 and V50 1.6D DRIVe will be offered with an advanced Start/Stop function. This helps lower emissions to just 104g CO2/km for the Volvo C30 and 107g CO2/km for the S40 and the V50 family estate model. The C30 thus also meets the lowest eco-tax levels (105g) in Europe.
The first Volvo models with Start/Stop function
In order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions to such an extent, the new DRIVe versions of the C30, S40 and V50 have been equipped with two intelligent new features. One is a Start/Stop function that allows the engine to switch off when the car is at a standstill, for instance while waiting at traffic lights or when stuck in traffic queues.
If the driver puts the gear lever into neutral and releases the clutch while at a standstill, the engine switches off. The next time the driver presses the clutch, the engine starts up again. This technology can reduce fuel consumption and thus carbon dioxide emissions by 4-5% in mixed driving conditions. Start/Stop technology is particularly effective in urban traffic, when the saving may be as much as 8%.
Volvo-unique levels of comfort and quick start-up time
While the car is at a standstill and the engine is switched off, some electronic systems such as the air conditioning step down to standby level in order to save fuel. However, the Start/Stop system continuously monitors the comfort level and automatically reactivates the relevant systems if for instance the temperature increases in the passenger compartment. The system does not set any limits for comfort-enhancing features such as the sound system or other facilities that the customer wants to maintain.
This monitoring system, which is specific to Volvo Cars, and the resultant high comfort level have been made possible owing to an additional small battery that supports the larger battery by providing extra power. Thanks to this extra battery, Volvo's DRIVe models also feature particularly quick and smooth start-up and the audio system, for instance, remains totally unaffected when the starter motor is activated. This distinguishes Volvo Car's solution from that offered by the competition. What is more, the standard larger battery has been upgraded to handle up to 175,000 Start/Stop cycles.
The driver continuously receives feedback about system status via the in-car information display. The Start/Stop function can be engaged and disengaged via a special DRIVe button in the centre console. In the default setting, the function is activated. In the future, this special DRIVe button will also regulate additional systems such as the DRIVe "economy settings" for particularly fuel-efficient performance that are on the way in forthcoming models.
Charges the batteries via kinetic energy
The other new feature in the C30, S40 and V50 DRIVe 1.6D with Start/Stop is what is known as a regenerative charge facility. This is a function that charges the battery as soon as the driver releases the accelerator or brakes while a gear is engaged. By harnessing the car's kinetic energy, the alternator does not have to use diesel fuel as a power source when the battery's charge level dips. Fuel savings of between 2 and 3% can be achieved with this function.
V70 and S80 slip below 140g
For the first time ever, the Volvo V70 and S80 are now also being offered in DRIVe versions. The cars are equipped with the same powertrain - 1.6-litre diesel engine and manual gearbox - as the smaller models but with specially tailored engine software and different ratios in third, fourth and fifth gears.
The optimised powertrain is a major aid in helping Volvo's larger sedans and family cars significantly cut their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions:
* V70 down to 4.9 l/100 km and 129g, an improvement of 18% compared with today's two-litre diesel.
* S80 down to 4.9 l/100 km and 129g, an improvement of 15% compared with the two-litre diesel.
"We feel that the customer should not have to compromise on either driving properties or comfort despite the smaller engine size. These cars have perfectly adequate performance and in addition a very low environmental impact, actually at a level that none of the competitors in this size class even begin to approach," says Magnus Jonsson, Senior Vice President, Product Development at Volvo Cars.
Several other factors also contribute to the reduction in fuel consumption, for example the tyres that have been specially designed for low rolling resistance. For the first time the V70 and S80 DRIVe versions are also equipped with an electric power steering pump that delivers exactly the servo assistance the driver requires, in a precise and energy-efficient way. All DRIVe models feature this power steering system.
The V70 has the following special features to reduce air drag:
* Covered grille
* Lowered chassis (20 mm front, 15 mm rear)
XC60 and XC70 now below 160g
For model year 2010, the powertrain range for the new Volvo XC60 crossover and the XC70 adventure estate will expand with a front-wheel drive DRIVe version powered by the 2.4D engine. CO2 emissions will be 159 g/km and fuel consumption a best-in-class 6.0 l/100 km for both cars.
In addition to front-wheel drive, a number of minor improvements all help deliver the new model's competitive fuel consumption and CO2 figures. Volvo Cars' engine experts have also succeeded in reducing friction and pump losses in the diesel engine and in cutting the pressure drop in the intake and exhaust systems.
Injection pressure has increased with the latest generation of high-pressure pumps and the injection architecture has been refined with the help of a piezo-electric system. The engine now has lower compression, more efficient combustion and the latest generation of engine management software. What is more, the turbocharger has been optimised to deliver high torque from low revs.
The gear ratios have been optimised so the car can be driven economically. For instance, when driving at 100 km/h in top gear, engine revs and thus also fuel consumption are lower with the new powertrain.
One important part of the development brief was to retain the sporty driving properties that are a central part of these cars' attraction.
"More horsepower, higher torque and a sporty chassis setting all help give the front-wheel drive version the right XC60 dynamics. It is the perfect choice for the customer who wants to focus on CO2 emissions without compromising on driving pleasure," says Magnus Jonsson.
"The XC70 DRIVe succeeds in combining high comfort and get-you-there ability with low fuel consumption. Just like the other models, the XC70 DRIVe is optimised for real-life driving conditions. This means it is tested in driving cycles that resemble the situations in which customers actually use their cars. That is why the low figures given in our press material will be very close indeed to the figures customers actually get in the car's trip computer during normal driving out on the road," continues Magnus Jonsson.
Improving the efficiency of the entire product range
Volvo Car's improvements to the environmental properties of its product range are not limited to the DRIVe versions. The fuel-reduction measures of these cars will also benefit the rest of the range. What is more, all the automatic transmissions will be 5 - 7% more efficient in forthcoming versions within the coming two years.
"Our aim is to offer cars that have the lowest CO2 emissions in each size class. DRIVe is the symbol for this process and the cars bearing this badge are those with which we have made most progress. However, the fuel-efficiency focus encompasses all our products and powertrains. By offering a broad-based product portfolio with highly economical and more powerful alternatives, the customer is able to choose his or her own level of environmental imprint," says Magnus Jonsson.

Valda, da gre 
Tudi sam sem razmišljal, da bi kupil V50 1.6D. Manjša poraba, manjše onesnaženje. Sem siguren, da tudi 1.6D potegne bolje kot "navaden" bencinar.
Evo poraba klik Povprečna poraba avtomobila: 5,49 l/100km
V50 z mašino 2.0D zelo dobro potegne, tudi ko je do stropa naložen + 4 ljudje. Z 1.6 motorjem bi pač ne bi imel tako dobrih pospeškov, ma za normalno vožnjo bi bil povsem primeren. Saj ne tiščimo vsi 200 na AC in 150 na Rebernicah 
Edino 6. prestavo bi pa res pogrešal.

| Najbolj na K**** mi gre ker vsi uporabniki dizlov mislijo kakšne jake stroje imajo zaradi boost efekta. Ko greš prehitevat pa ti prpa dela ko avto pospešuje slabše od Cliota 1.2. Se pa strinjam da zaradi navora ni potebno skos vrtet motorja kot pri švoh bencinarjih že pri normalni vožnji. Avto, ki ima več kot 1,5t rabi tudi min 150 konjev (še to je malo), drugače si raje kupiš kaj manjšega in lažjega.
S80 in 1.6D  Pa še poraba in onesnaževanje okolje je pomoje v resnici enako kot pri 2.0D recimo, samo na papirju je razlika. Prej obratno bi rekel ker ga skos teraš.
