Volvo tune electric sound that is perfect for environmentally friendly vehicles
The Swedish firm Volvo car believes that hybrid vehicles powered by electricity and petroleum fuel, should have a single exhaust sound. From an advanced laboratory, the brand works to make this goal a reality applicable to the V60 Plug-In Hybrid, which will be marketed next year.
Did you know that the United States is required by law for electric and hybrid vehicles emit any exhaust sound? And that in Europe is working to achieve the same end? The reason is clear: a car ‘dumb’ is dangerous for pedestrians. If they do not listen to the presence of a car, it is very likely to be an outrage.
Volvo is one of the brands we are investigating to get the sound perfect escape for their environmentally friendly vehicles. A rumor is issued only in either hybrid-electric and gasoline or diesel. The Swedish company technicians attach great importance to achieve this goal, not only to provide security for pedestrians, but also to provide maximum possible comfort to the driver.
Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid
The acoustics laboratory in the new Volvo V60 has a Plug-In Hybrid the perfect model for their essays. A vehicle will be released next year with two engines, a 215 hp turbo for the front axle and a power of 70 hp to the rear wheels. With a lithium ion battery, Volvo announced a range of 50 km in electric mode and 1,200 km in hybrid, and a consumption of 1.9 l/100 km and carbon dioxide emissions of 49 g/100 km. One advantage is that the V60 Hybrid can be recharged from a power socket in just 5 hours.
