 Following the trend of the electric vehicle train production, Vovlo decided to start a plug-in hybrid developed with assistance from Swedish clean energy company Vattenfall.
The four wheel drive V70 PHEV, scheduled to be released in 2012, will come with a diesel engine that can run on synthetic fuel. The parallel hybrid power train will be able to coast on electric power for 30 miles before the diesel engine starts working. Overall, the concept car will have a range of 745 miles.
