General
Quieter and cleaner
Environmental care is one of Volvo Car Corpo-
ration's core values and it influences all of our
operations. This target-orientation has resulted
in the DRIVe vehicle series whose concept
consists of an interaction between several sep-
arate energy-saving functions, all with the
common purpose of reducing fuel consump-
tion, which in turn contributes to reduced
exhaust emissions.
Start/Stop
In addition to being equipped with a reliable
and fuel-efficient diesel engine, this car's
engine is equipped with a Start and Stop func-
tion which comes into action in the event of e.g.
stationary traffic queues or waiting at traffic
lights - see the detailed description on the next
page.
The engine's automatic restart sequence runs
so smoothly that it is hardly noticeable that the
engine has actually been switched off. The
experience is that the engine has been running
the whole time but with an extremely quiet and
low idling speed.
The Start/Stop function gives the driver the
opportunity for a more active environmentally
conscious driving style by means of being able
to disengage gear and letting the engine auto-
stop, whenever appropriate.
Smart charging
The car's kinetic energy is used during engine
braking by means of it being converted into
electricity and stored in the car's battery.
Adapted power steering
Another DRIVe function is that the power steer-
ing's energy take-off is adapted according to
requirements. By means of optimisation and
the introduction of an energy saving function
the energy take-off can be minimised on occa-
sions where power assistance (help in turning
the steering wheel) is not necessary.
Aerodynamics
The DRIVe concept also includes a lowered
chassis, front and rear spoilers with low wind
resistance, as well as specially developed
wheel rims
