The V70, available only in front drive with a 3.2-liter inline six-cylinder engine, rings up at a base price of $33,210. At that number, the V70 is an entirely different proposition. It’s even $6240 cheaper than the six-cylinder S80 and $4310 less that its all-wheel-drive sibling, the XC70. And despite the price break, the V70 ...

Volvo Parts are No Nonsense Parts By Anthony Fontanelle
2008-05-12 00:24:00
Volvo is known to be a worldwide supplier of busses, interstate trucks, airplane engines and construction equipments. But among others, Volvo is also known to be one of the best suppliers of luxury vehicles not just in Sweden but as well as other countries including the United States. Volvo was established in Sweden in 1927. Today, it is already bought by Ford Motor Company and lined it up with its premier car brands. Before this division was purchased by FMC, it was then a subsidiary of a vehicle part maker SKF (Svenska Kullagerfabriken AB). Today, the Ford division makes and distributes its own Volvo parts to compensate with its released car models. The very first car made by Volvo was the OV 4. This was sent to market in April 14, 1927. For over 90 years of car production, it has made several innovations. More than that, precision engineered and performance Volvo parts were also produced. Among these auto parts are the laminated windshields that were first used in Volvo PV model,...

Craigslist find of the day: Electric Volvo
2008-05-10 05:37:00
Not all electric conversions are small Geo Metros, Volkswagens or Porsches. For sale on the San Francisco Bay Area Craigslist, here, is an eVolvo. It's a converted 1995 Volvo 850 sedan. It's got new batteries and new low rolling resistance tires. The seller claims a range of about 40 miles with 15 kWh of lead acid batteries. Asking price is $14,000. Searching through the EVAlbum database, a useful resource with over 1,500 electric vehicles listed by their owners, one only finds three Volvo conversions in the U.S., including, I believe, this car listed by its previous owner in Seattle. For Volvo fans awaiting the ReCharge plug-in hybrid, we've previously reported about, this could get you into an electron-driven Swede today.[Source: Craigslist]

Volvo shows off new FlexiFuel range, including V70 police car
2008-05-09 01:27:00
Click on the image for high-res shots of Volvo's FlexiFuel police modelLast year, Volvo introduced a line of vehicles in Europe capable of running on E85 fuel which it refers to as the FlexiFuel range. Already available in the C30, S40, V50 and V70 and S80 models with engines ranging from 1.8 to 2.5 liters, Volvo has seen fit to add a new police-specific V70 to its range of flexible fuel vehicles. Perhaps this addition will allow for more than just 50-100 sales in the U.K. As with the current V70 and S80 FlexiFuel models, the new emergency vehicle will come equipped with the turbocharged 2.5 liter inline five cylinder engine offering 200 horsepower and a very reasonable 300Nm of torque at 1500-4500rpm. This output allows for a top speed of 130mph and a run from 0 to 60mph in 7.6 seconds -- not too shabby at all.Volvo's V70 police car again raises the point that the U.K. police force often chooses very practical vehicles for law enforcement duties. While the estate body style makes...

Jerry York: Ford should sell Volvo, Mercury
2008-05-02 03:13:00
Jerry York: Ford should sell Volvo, Mercury Jerry York, a prominent representative of Kirk Kerkorian's Tracinda Corp, said on Thursday he thinks Ford should sell Volvo and sell or kill Mercury. Tracinda famously attempted to arrange an alliance between GM and Renault-Nissan last year, but failed and subsequently dumped most of its GM stock. Tracinda is now increasing its stake in Ford. York said he believes Ford's CEO, Alan Mulally, is probably planning to sell Volvo within the next 18 months. He said there is no "rational reason" for Ford to keep the Swedish automaker, according to trade publication Automotive News. York says he simply speaking hypothetically, but he did meet with Mulally last month — suggesting his speculation might be well-founded. As for Mercury, York outline two options — selling the brand or simply shutting it down. As reported by Leftlane Ford has virtually no new products in the pipeline for the brand. In fact, the Milan ...

Click on the image to enlargeWhile safety is likely the first thing that springs to mind when the automotive conversation turns to Volvo, the Swedish auto manufacturer would like the average person to know about its efforts to reduce its impact on the environment. To that end, Volvo has launched its 'Clean inside and out' program, which outlines everything that the automaker is trying to do in protection of the environment. After the break, we've pasted Volvo's latest press release detailing some of its environmental policies, but one figure stands out in our minds: all new Volvo's are 85 percent recyclable and 95 percent recoverable and have been so since 2002.

La seguridad que proporciona Keeloq, un chip utilizado por muchos fabricantes para permitir el bloqueo del automóvil y evitar así intentos de robo, podría quedar en nada tras la investigación realizada por científicos alemanes, que aseguran haber logrado saltarse el cifrado que protege el sistema.El equipo de investigadores de la universidad alemana de Ruhr que ha descifrado el funcionamiento de esta tecnología señala que, tras haber desencriptado la comunicación entre el coche y el mando, es bastante fácil crear un duplicado de éste.
