Volvo 3cc Concept Car And Parts Train Volvo Parts: A Tandem That
Speaks Of Quality And Excellence
By Jenny McLane
The European public will see Volvo's latest concept car, the
3CC, for the first time at the Geneva show, as Volvo rewrites
the rules on how we will use our cars in the future.
Volvo 3CC demonstrates Volvo's vision of sustainable mobility
for the future, as well as Volvo safety innovations for smaller
cars.
"With the Volvo 3CC, Volvo Cars is pioneering a new way of
looking at mobility so that future generations can enjoy the
same freedom the car has given my generation. We believe it is
necessary to show new ways to reduce pollution and congestion,"
says Lars Erik Lundin, Vice President & General Manager of the
Volvo Monitoring and Concept Center (VMCC). "We want to connect
in a positive way with consumers so that they say 'I want to be
seen in this car' ", Lars Erik Lundin explains."We want to add
emotional value to people's lives by offering an
environmentally compatible car that appeals to all the senses,
and which people want to drive."
The 3CC is a small, sleek and environmentally efficient car
with a powerful, zero emission electric power train, great
aerodynamics and a lightweight, high-strength steel space
frame. Its electric power comes from 3,000 lithium batteries
identical to those used in modern laptop computers, packaged in
a thin sandwich floor that could adapt to house the most
appropriate power train in the future, whether it is petrol,
biogas or a hybrid electric.
The double floor used to house the electric energy storage
makes the concept future-proof in that the layout can be
adapted for the most appropriate power train in the future,
whether it be petrol, diesel, biogas, or hybrid electric,"
explains Ichiro Sugioka, Science Officer at VMCC in California
Created by the people behind the Volvo Monitoring and Concept
Center in California, the Volvo 3CC is a `future-proof concept'
that would enhance sustainable mobility. Good aerodynamics on a
compact footprint, lightweight body materials, and an electric
power train where there is abundance of renewable energy sums
up the Volvo 3 CC.
