having covered just 11,934 miles under the stewardship of a single owner this minty 1993 Volvo 240 Tørslanda estate is basically a new car A 240 would easily get you to the moon and back (and back again when you realised you forgot to take a selfie) so of course we’re going to wheel out the old cliché that this one has barely been run in It’s coming up for sale too. Yep, Bonhams is auctioning this excellent slab of Swedishness with an estimate of somewhere between £15,000 and £20,000. Seems like a bargain to us – you wouldn’t even get half of a new XC60 for that READ MOREThis is the *second* most expensive car sold at auction: the £42.6m Merc W196 R And would you just look at that interior. The 240 is being sold by a relative of the car’s late owner, and said owner was “a very particular man who liked things to be neat, tidy, orderly and just so”. What a star. In fact, the Volvo was kept so tidy the plastic seat covers from the factory were never removed from the blue tweed upholstery. It's only ever been serviced by the main dealer that originally sold it, and according to the auction listing there are “no bills covering repairs or non-service maintenance for the simple reason that it’s never needed any work done”. You won’t be surprised to hear that it’s also got an MOT with no advisories. Of course, the Tørslanda edition – named to celebrate the town where the 240 was built – was essentially a run-out special at the end of the car’s life, although the town itself was called Torslanda and the ‘ø’ was only added to make it seem more Scandi for British buyers. Amazing. Available in red, white or silver, the Tørslanda came with excellent additional stripes, 15in alloy wheels, plastic exterior trim and even heated seats.

in Gothenburg The area surrounding Volvo Cars’ former headquarter in Gothenburg is the site of a large urban development project named Nāst Innovation Destination Torslanda owner and developer Steptura broke ground on a 31,000 sqm building It marked the start of construction for phase two “Nāst House is further proof of our long-term commitment to creating the innovation cluster of the future We see that this type of innovative environment attracts talent and contributes to the companies' development and innovative power,” said Jacob Torell founder and business developer at Steptura The new building has been designed by the US firm SHoP Architects known for their work on projects for Youtube It is specifically designed to foster innovation and collaboration Over 90% of the building is already leased with Volvo Cars among the future tenants Phase one of Nāst Innovation Destination Torslanda began during the first quarter of this year and involves a total transformation of Volvo Cars’ former iconic headquarters The building is being modernised and expanded by 22,000 sqm.  Behind the collaborative venture is Steptura which owns and is developing Gothenburg's new life science neighbourhood GoCo Health Innovation City The vision is to create a leading innovation cluster for knowledge- and research-intensive companies in vehicle development It will be an integrated part of Volvo Cars campus in Torslanda and not far from the coming battery gigafactory.  Gothenburg already holds a prominent position within future mobility Wireless Car and Autoliv are headquartered and/or operate important R&D sites here. The investments in Torslanda will further boost the region’s appeal to both talent and investments “We have a fantastic innovation ecosystem in Gothenburg What’s happening in Torslanda is an exciting initiative in close vicinity to both production and development It will create new opportunities for innovative companies and the region’s mobility cluster at large,” says Joel Görsch investment advisor at Business Region Göteborg Volvo Cars is building a new center for mobility innovations in Torslanda near Gothenburg Volvo wants to take new technologies out of the laboratory environment and test them in a realistic way Volvo describes the new centre named ‘Mobility Innovation Destination Torslanda’ as a tailor-made test field for automotive development near the company’s headquarters in Gothenburg Instead of focusing exclusively on technologies for wireless and bidirectional charging of electric cars and autonomous driving in development centres validated and deployed in a city-like environment in the future,” Volvo says The results of the centre will be reflected in the next generation of Volvo’s premium electric cars the campus with the new centre for mobility innovation will be connected to the Gothenburg Green City Zone initiative together with Volvo Cars and other companies wants to test new technologies for vehicles and infrastructure to achieve emission-free transportation by 2030 In addition to new buildings and facilities for testing, technology and materials, Volvo Cars is also opening up its campus in Torslanda to start-ups and business partners The new centre will be built as part of a collaboration between Volvo Cars and real estate developers Vectura Fastigheter and Next Step Group “The sustainability goals of the project are ambitious The first new building with an area of 25,000 square meters will be used exclusively by Volvo Cars and is a wooden hybrid that reduces the CO2 footprint by 15 per cent compared to a traditional steel and concrete frame,” the car manufacturer announced Construction is scheduled to start in the second quarter of 2024 and the first building is expected to be completed in 2026 – in time for Volvo Cars’ 100th anniversary in 2027 “With this initiative we aim to create an ecosystem where we can develop the future of mobility – including cars

comprehensive coverage of the highest quality — as a central platform for the rapid development of this technology Volvo Cars announced a 10 billion SEK (€960 million/$1.1 billion) investment in its largest manufacturing plant - the Torslanda plant (northwest of Gothenburg city center) in Sweden - in preparation for the production of that next generation of fully electric cars currently operates on three shifts and employs around 6,500 people Its annual production capacity is about 300,000 cars a number of new and more sustainable technologies and manufacturing processes will be introduced at the plant It's another crucial step in the transition towards a 100% electric car company by 2030. Earlier this month, Volvo announced a 50 GWh battery plant (joint venture with Northvolt), which will be built in Gothenburg The most interesting thing is the official announcement about the mega casting of aluminum body parts, which was first pioneered in high-scale EVs by Tesla "The introduction of mega casting of aluminum body parts for the next generation of electric Volvo models is the most significant and exciting change implemented as part of the investment package Mega casting creates a number of benefits in terms of sustainability cost and car performance during the car’s lifetime and Volvo Cars is one of the first carmakers to invest in this process." Volvo notes that the use of mega castings will reduce the number of parts as well as the overall complexity of manufacturing It also should improve interior space optimization "Casting major parts of the floor structure of the car as one single aluminum part reduces weight which in turn improves the energy efficiency and thereby the electric range of the car This also allows Volvo designers to optimally use the available space inside the cabin and luggage area boosting the overall versatility of the car Other benefits from mega casting include reduced complexity in the manufacturing process creates cost savings in terms of material use and logistics reducing the overall environmental footprint across the manufacturing and supply chain networks." The second-generation electric Volvos are coming soon (in 2022, starting with the all-electric successor of the XC90 in Ridgeville, South Carolina) The third-generation BEVs are expected to offer very high range, up to 1,000 km (621 miles), and will use a structural battery Lynk & Co Z20: A Better Volvo EX30 That's Ready To Take On Europe Waymo Is Far From Done With The Jaguar I-Pace Volvo Just Sold Its 5,000th Electric Truck Ford Isn't Slowing Down Mustang Mach-E Production Tesla In 'Panic Mode' After Report Of New CEO Search The 2025 Chevy Silverado EV Work Truck Is America’s New Range King Volvo Wants To Build A Plug-In Hybrid In The U.S Volvo Cars' main manufacturing plant in a suburb of Gothenburg will be brought back online on Monday Volvo Cars’ main manufacturing plant in a suburb of Gothenburg will be brought back online on Monday.

Manufacturing Today India Home > Sectors > Volvo’s Torslanda manufacturing plant reaches climate neutral status The company commits making its global manufacturing network climate neutral by 2025 Volvo Cars has announced a significant step towards its ambition of making its global manufacturing network climate neutral by 2025 The company said that the Torslanda site in Sweden is its first car manufacturing plant to reach fully climate neutral status This makes Torslanda the second plant in its overall manufacturing network to reach this status after the Skövde engine plant in Sweden became climate neutral in 2018 Volvo Cars counts a manufacturing site as fully climate neutral when it registers no net increase in the emission of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere as a result of the electricity and heating used by the plant.The Torslanda plant has been powered by climate neutral electricity since 2008 Half of the plant’s heating comes from biogas while the other half is predominantly sourced from district heating through industrial waste heat “Establishing Torslanda as our first climate neutral car plant is a significant milestone,” said Javier Varela head of industrial operations and quality at Volvo Cars “We are committed to having a climate neutral manufacturing network by 2025 and this achievement is a sign of our determination as we consistently work to reduce our impact on the environment.” Torslanda also constantly reduces the amount of energy it uses Targeted improvements in its operations during 2020 resulted in annualised energy savings of almost 7,000 megawatt-hour (MWh) equal to the annual energy usage of over 450 Swedish family homes the plant plans to make further efficiency upgrades to the lighting and heating systems which should result in additional annual energy savings of around 20,000 MWh by 2023 These energy savings are part of a wider ambition for Volvo Cars to reduce energy usage per car produced in its manufacturing network by 30 per cent in 2025 For Volvo Cars to achieve its target of climate neutral manufacturing operations it needs the full support of local partners in government and business to access climate neutral electricity and heating Volvo Cars will develop its own renewable electricity generation capacity on-site Volvo Cars’ climate neutral manufacturing target is part of the company’s climate plan The centrepiece of the plan is Volvo Cars’ ambition to electrify its entire line-up Northvolt and Volvo Cars will place their first joint battery factory in Gothenburg next to Volvo Cars’ assembly
