True to its distinctive character, Volvo Ph formally introduced its set of powerful yet eco-conscious T8 Twin Engine vehicles through an environmental forum.

Volvo’s T8 Twin Engine delivers all the benefits of a high performance, low emission petrol engine with an electric motor that delivers power on demand with ultralow CO2 emissions and more than 40 km of pure electric range. Each Volvo plug-in hybrid that is available in the country all have over 400 hp that can deliver an exhilarating drive. The new electrified powertrain also offers drivers up to 15 percent fuel savings and emission reductions in real world driving.
