How These Engines Evolved?

Back in 2007, when the company was owned by Ford and was using derivations of Ford engines, a team of Volvo engineers sat together and planned on bringing an all-new family out. They agreed on designing, developing and manufacturing their own engines as adapting Ford engines to their vehicles was waste of time and money.

So they came up with a solid business case and sold the VEA plan to Geely, who was then about to buy Volvo. The result was absolutely amazing, the fuel economy was best-in-class, manufacturing was highly flexible and drivability was exciting.

What Volvo has to Say?

Michael Fleiss, vice president Volvo Car Group Powertrain said in a statement: “Achieving an effective level of balance across comfort, efficiency, and power has been the ultimate goal for our creation of the Drive-E engine family across our global model range.
