New volvo range of cars, suvs, wagons, sedans, trucks prepared to consume LPG / Propane
In 1927, a manufacturer of SKF ball bearings for the subsidiary under the name of Volvo. Since the beginning of the company's founding, Volvo has placed safety as a guiding principle and, over the years, has built a reputation for global safety. On April 14, 1927, a vehicle with the distinction of model OV 4 would leave the assembly line when the production of Volvo vehicles began. Initial sales of Volvo cars would be slow in general, but with the introduction of Volvo trucks in 1928, the company would be completely exhausted in six months. In 1929, Volvo six-cylinder passenger vehicle under the model PV651 would be a success because the vehicle has been built to be sustainable for the local climate and offer a wider track for greater stability and this year the company would see its first profits .
In 1999, Volvo Cars was sold to Ford Motor Company because AB Volvo would focus on its other industries. With a price of $ 6.45 billion, Ford Motor Company would take control until Volvo stopped publishing the benefits and with the rebuilding of Ford Motor Company, decided to offer Volvo and other premium vehicles for sale. of the society. Ford Motor Company would sell its rights and interests to Volvo Automobile for $ 1.8 billion. Today, the company currently employs 20,000 people and is still based in Gothenburg, Sweden.
The range of cars with LPG Autogas offered by the volvo brand in USA has been extended with the approval of equipment to retrofit their cars:
Double Autonomy
A new volvo LPG / Propane Model of van in USA usually maintains the same gasoline system as the traditional version incorporating the LPG / Propane equipment
Similar Price
the volvo LPG / Propane van has a price slightly higher than the gasoline version but lower than the diesel version
Economic Savings
Although it can be established that operating in LPG / Propane mode the vehicle consumes a little more than gasoline, the price of fuel has an interesting saving
immediate recharge similar to gasoline
The refilling from the supplier is carried out in a time comparable to that necessary for refueling gasoline. The system is, likewise, very simple and comfortable.

Maintenance savings due to cleaner fuel
Being a cleaner system, catalytic converters, filters, "adblues" are eliminated, which reduces the possibility of mechanical breakdowns. Thus, for example, the service life of the oil increases with what it means for motor care
No Restrictions in Cities or on days of prohibition
The first cities begin to limit the access of diesel vehicles, in their restrictive regulations vehicles with LPG have access advantages
POSSIBILITY OF BEING ADAPTED TO CONSUME LPG / PROPANE
07/26/2018 Volvo is testing the LPG truck system as the market prepares for a cleaner future.
Volvo is testing liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) trucks developed in accordance with Euro 6 standards, which, according to the company, are equivalent to diesel vehicles in terms of fuel efficiency and performance. The Volvo Trucks division of the company is looking for ways to make the transport and logistics industry more environmentally friendly without affecting performance. While some, such as Daimler, are developing electric trucks for short-distance deliveries, the Swedish manufacturer's solution, by adding LPG tanks to diesel vehicles, saves approximately 20% CO2. According to the company, a company traveling 120,000 km per year can reduce its CO2 emissions by 18 to 20 tons. Natural gas is also available in several European countries, and the LPG infrastructure extends to the entire continent. Last year, more than 264,000 heavy trucks were registered in the EU. According to Volvo, this shows the huge savings potential of heavy goods traffic worldwide. Instead of an Otto cycle engine, which is the conventional solution for gasoline vehicles, Volvo FH LNG and Volvo FM LNG operate with gas engines that use Diesel cycle technology. This means that an operator who chooses gas can do so without compromising maneuverability, fuel efficiency or reliability. The Volvo 460 hp petrol engine offers a maximum torque of 2300 Nm, while the 420 hp version produces 2100 Nm. Mats Franzén, product manager for engines at Volvo Trucks, says: "Our new liquid gas or biogas trucks create a much smaller footprint than diesel trucks, and they are much more efficient than similar gasoline trucks currently available on the market. Therefore, even in heavy transport over long distances, gas becomes a real alternative to diesel. The solution offers an alternative to electric trucks, and Volvo believes that both technologies can work together to improve the environmental credentials of the sector. Lars Martensson, Director of Environmental Protection and Innovation at Volvo Trucks, says: "LPG is an excellent alternative to diesel for regional and long-distance transportation, where fuel consumption, payload and productivity are paramount. the climate can be reduced much more, while the transport and delivery traffic in the urban environment is less critical, which means that the idea that electric vehicles play a more important role in the future is not possible. parallel, one of which is LPG. Meanwhile, Tesla is preparing to launch its electric truck on October 26, as the US company plans to "revolutionize" the industry. While the company only revealed images of the model, showing its silhouette instead of the vehicle itself, the images that flow from a similarly similar vehicle were transported near the Tesla headquarters. The truck looks, in the traditional way of Tesla, quite futuristic and clean. In a Tweet in September, Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla, described the new truck as "beast" and confirmed that the tests would be carried out before launch.
