At the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Volvo Car Corporation will present a battery-electric Volvo C30 with a range of 150 km. The show car represents the first step toward building a test fleet of at least 50 electric Volvo C30s that will be on the road in 2011.
With the C30, Volvo made its debut in the segment for two-door premium cars. The sporty design, with two doors, four individual seats, and a glass tailgate, gave a young and dynamic group of customers "a Volvo of their own".
