This is not the first time we saw-in-hybrid plug Volvo, Volvo has revealed details of the system have. The system in the production PHEV V60 is a development of the Volvo system began developing in conjunction with the Swedish utility Vattenfall and showed in 2009 a V70 wagon.
“This second generation hybrid is the perfect choice for uncompromising customer that wants a car packed with a low carbon dioxide emissions by driving pleasure,” Jacoby said in a prepared statement.
Volvo and Vattenfall system, called Electric Rear Axle Drive (ERAD), an electric motor used to drive the rear – in this case one that produces 70 horsepower. The electric motor is powered by a 12 kWh lithium-ion battery, which makes the car drive up to 30 miles on electricity alone with electricity. Once the battery is a 215-hp, 2.4-liter turbodiesel I-5 is coupled to a six-speed automatic transmission kicks in the front wheels. According to Volvo V60 which gets about 124 mpg PHEV on the European combined cycle.
While we are sure that we do not always non-hybrid-V60 can be seen this side of the pond, we can finally, the hybrid system. Jacoby played like a U.S. offer and a Volvo spokesman, confirmed that such a discussion, but nothing confirmed. The spokesman also confirmed the suspicion that if the V60 PHEV has made its way to the United States, it should not be a diesel engine. The availability of a diesel would be off on U.S. emissions standards.
It may take some time before any hard information on the V60 comes PHEV U.S. availability, but we will be more than the diesel-electric hybrid for Europe at the Geneva Motor Show in March bound to learn. The car is to go on sale in 2012.
