沃尔沃长期以来致力于环保汽车的制造。早在二十世纪七十年代他开发的Lambda-Sond 系统就体现了这点。现在，沃尔沃已经开始开发混合动力版的C30掀背车。据说该车将采用柴油动力和电池动力组成的混合动力系统。电池单独工作就可以保证汽车以45英里的速度行驶。这辆电气化的C30将参加米其林必比登挑战赛，据说在该车将采用全新的硬件，该硬件是沃尔沃自己开发的还是它与福特合作开发的现在还不得而知。
Volvo developing C30 series hybrid concept
Volvo has long tried to be good environmental stewards. Even before its revolutionary Lambda-Sond system in the late 1970s, the Gothenburg-based automaker had been making efforts to tread lightly. Now comes word that Volvo has developed a hybrid version of the C30 hatchback. The drive system is reportedly a series hybrid, with the batteries being charged on the go by a diesel powerplant. There's plug-in charging capabilities, as well. The batteries alone can provide motive power for about 45 miles before the generator awakes. The electrified C30 will be part of the Michelin Challenge Bibendum, where engineers will presumably be trying to break stuff so that any production version has well-vetted hardware. No details are available about whether the hybrid hardware was developed in-house by Volvo or bequeathed by parent Ford.
