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 ...
