The C30 hybrid is developed in the US. The main idea is developing a car for people that drive less then 60 miles a day. In the US that will account for over 80%.
Having the electric charge you will almost never see the gaspomp again.

The fuelcosts of a C30 hybrid will be 80% less then having a “normal” car and the CO2emmission will be 60% less then the most efficiant cars available on the market right now.

The main difference between the Volvo Hybrid and hybrid cars like those of Honda, Toyota and Lexus is that Volvo C30 uses the electricty as it’s main source of power as the others use it as a short assistence for normal fuel.

And don’t think this electric car hasn’t got any power…. It’s topspeed running on electricty is a 100 miles an hour and goes from 0 to 60 in 9 seconds.

I would like to invit you to share all your stories and reviews about the all new Volvo C30. I haven’t drove in it and can’t give you a honest review of how the handling is but I do know that this car looks great.

So if you have testdriven the Volvo C30 or own one and want to share your review with the rest of us please do leave your comments.

Volvo has a new model coming which they call the XC60. It’s planned to reach the showrooms in early 2009.
The XC60 looks like it’s a combination of the C30 and the XC70. It’s a smart small car with the looks of an off road
