At the 2011 Geneva Auto Show, Volvo will unveil the V60 Plug-in Hybrid with carbon dioxide emissions below 50 g/km, which translates into fuel consumption of 125 U. S. mpg.

In 2012, Volvo Cars will be the first manufacturer on the market with this new breed of hybrid, which is the result of close cooperation with the Swedish energy supplier Vattenfall, and capable of driving 32 miles on electricity only.

The front wheels are driven by a five-cylinder 2. 4-liter D5 turbo diesel, which produces 215 bhp and 324 lb. -ft. of torque. The rear axle features ERAD (Electric Rear Axle Drive) with a70 bhp electric motor and a 12 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. The car features a six-speed automatic transmission.

In order to get true car enthusiasts to think green, you have to offer them the opportunity to drive with low carbon dioxide emissions without taking away the adrenaline rush that promotes genuine driving pleasure. The V60 Plug-in Hybrid has all the traditional properties of a genuine sports wagon. What weve done is to spice it up with spearhead technology, says Volvo CEO, Stefan Jacoby.
