2001

Volvo Cars presents its own range of environmentally-sound diesel engines, the D5 range. Their carbon dioxide emissions are 30 per cent lower than those from petrol engines of a similar power output. The upgraded Bi-Fuel engines can now be ordered for either CNG or LPG.

The Volvo S60 AWD is launched with a new drive system. Central to this electronically-controlled hydraulic system is the Haldex AWD coupling. The company presents a drivable version of the Safety Concept Car, and also the Adventure Concept Car 1.

A number of Ocean Race Special Editions are produced for marketing in conjunction with the 2001/2002 Volvo Ocean Race, which began in September.
