Volvo Trucks will be the first manufacturer with an efficient diesel engine fuelled by a mixture of methane gas and diesel to meet the strict Euro-5 exhaust emission standards introduced in 2009. Field testing will start in Sweden and the UK in 2010.
‘Product life cycle’ has gone from smart PR to smart business.

The Volvo Trucks cab factory in Umeå, will soon be an entirely CO2-neutral factory.
