Volvo Cars and the environment
Efficient emission control
Your Volvo is manufactured following the
concept Clean inside and out – a concept
that encompasses a clean interior environ-
ment as well as highly efficient emission con-
trol. In many cases the exhaust emissions are
well below the applicable standards.
In addition there is a special radiator coating,
PremAir®
1
, which can convert hazardous
ground-level ozone into pure oxygen when
the ozone passes the radiator. The higher the
ozone content in the air the more ozone is
converted.
Clean air in the passenger
compartment
A passenger compartment filter prevents
dust and pollen from entering the passenger
compartment via the air intake.
A sophisticated air quality system, IAQS
2
(Interior Air Quality System) ensures that the
incoming air is cleaner than the air in the traf-
fic outside.
The system consists of an electronic sensor
and a carbon filter. The incoming air is moni-
tored continuously and if there is an increase
in the level of certain unhealthy gases such
as carbon monoxide then the air intake is
closed. Such a situation may arise in heavy
traffic, queues and tunnels for example.
The entry of nitrous oxides, ground-level
ozone and hydrocarbons is prevented by the
carbon filter.
Textile standard
The interior of a Volvo is designed to be
pleasant and comfortable, even for people
with contact allergies and for asthma suffer-
ers. All of our upholstery and interior textiles
are tested with respect to certain unhealthy
substances and allergens as well as emis-
sions. This means that all textiles fulfil the re-
quirements in the Öko-Tex 100 standard
3
, a
major advance towards a healthier passen-
ger compartment environment.
Öko-Tex certification covers seatbelts, car-
pets, thread and fabrics for example. The
leather in the upholstery undergoes chromi-
um-free tanning with natural plant substanc-
es and fulfils the certification requirements.
Volvo workshops and the environment
Regular maintenance creates the conditions
for a long service life for the car with low fuel
consumption, and this way you contribute to
a cleaner environment. When Volvo’s work-
shops are entrusted with the repair and
maintenance of the car, it becomes part of
our system. We make clear demands regard-
ing the way in which our workshops are de-
signed in order to prevent spills and dis-
charges into the environment. Our workshop
staff have the knowledge and the tools re-
quired to guarantee good environmental
care.
