The Volvo Car Corporation is introducing a new, downsized engine range consisting solely of four-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines. It covers the range from high-power and -torque variants to fuel-efficient derivatives. The new powertrains are also up to 90 kg lighter than the present ones and fuel economy is improved by up to 35%.

The higher-voltage variant will support moves by European vehicle manufacturers announced earlier this year to introduce 48 volt passenger vehicle power networks to help meet the requirement for lower fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions. Electric supercharging at 48 volts extends that envelope of torque enhancement.
