Wireless Vehicle Charging Station

Volvo just completed testing with Flanders' Drive, an automotive technology knowledge center in Belgium and a consortium of other companies, to determine whether wireless charging was practical, efficient and safe in real-world trials.  Guess what?  It is!

"Cordless technology is a comfortable and effective way to conveniently transfer energy,” said Lennart Stegland, Vice President, Electric Propulsion System at Volvo Car Group. The project won't end there though, as Stegland adds, "There is not yet any common standard for inductive charging. We will continue our research and evaluate the feasibility of the technology in our hybrid and electric car project."

Turner Volvo has always felt that there is something special about owning a Volvo. Volvo service is second-to-none and Volvo parts are infamously built for reliability and safety.  Bring your Volvo into Turner Volvo and keep your vehicle on the road for many years to come.

Door Panels Serving as a Battery?

"Using a standard Volvo S80 as a test platform, the company replaced the trunk lid, door panels, and hood with this new material. The rechargeable panels are composed of multiple layers of carbon fiber, which are insulated from each other by fiberglass inserts. The layers of polymer-infused carbon fiber are actually acting as the cathode and anode in this system with super capacitors built into the skin. The result is a structural component that can be charged like the battery in any other EV, either with regenerative braking or by plugging the vehicle into the power grid."

The Volvo Of The Future May Make Parking In Sacramento A Cinch

Late for that appointment and can't find a place to park? Someday in the future, your Volvo may be able to speed you on your way. According to Smart Planet Daily, Volvo is developing a concept car that will park itself.  Now, mind what we just said. This isn't an app that will find you a vacant spot. Those already exist. And this isn't hands-free parking. 

No, you won't even have to wait around. You'd just drop this car off in the parking lot, and be on your way. Come back later and it will be waiting for you. The underlying technology is based on road sensors, a technology that is also developing.  So we'll have to wait on that.  But, for now, you can check it out and also link to Volvo's press release.

Volvo also plans to introduce the all new XC-90 with automated steering by the end of 2014. When available, you can be sure Turner Volvo in Sacramento will have it.  Meanwhile come visit us for your car's regularly scheduled Volvo service and quality Volvo parts.
