Vehicle Description: This is a 7-Day NO RESERVE auction for a 1998 Volvo V70XC Cross Country AWD Turbo Wagon! HIGH BIDDER WINS! Rare Third Row Seating!! Check out the pictures & video! This Volvo runs & drives extremely well! You would never guess the mileage by looking or driving this very nice automobile. This Volvo was traded it at a new-car dealership in NW Ohio and I purchased the Volvo from them. I have personally driven this vehicle for the last 100 miles and it is very nice! The inline 5-cylinder turbo engine runs strong with plenty of power. The automatic transmission shifts smooth with no issues at all. This Volvo is loaded with all the options like power/heated leather seats, power windows and locks, cruise control, keyless entry, and so much more. Zero accident history per autocheck! Mechanically, this Volvo is in good condition. Engine & Transmission are 100%. I have not noticed any leaks on the ground where this Volvo has been sitting. The brakes stop the car smooth and straight. While driving the steering & suspension components appears to be in good shape - particular buyers may note a little suspension rattle when hitting bumps but still extremely smooth and nothing out of the ordinary for a car of this age/miles. The 4 matching Michelin tires have TONS of tread remaining and the vehicle drives straight down the road. No vibrations at all when driving. No driveline noise or vibrations at all. Turbo spools up with plenty of power. Overall, this vehicle drives extremely nicely for its age and mileage. All the power options work like they should including the power seats, sunroof, mirrors, windows, etc. The automatic climate control works and this Volvo blows air on all blower levels and wherever you want it to (vents, defroster, etc). The AC is blowing cold, but for full disclosure when I acquired the vehicle it was warm and I recharged it -- it has held up for a week but there may be a small leak somewhere and the a/c compressor is a little noisy when engaged. The Volvo is equipped with AM/FM/CD/CASSETTE - the radio powers up great and sounds very good. The check engine light is on (code P0108 - MAP sensor high) but there is no noticeable performance issues. There are no other dash warning lights illuminated except for the service light comes on for 90 seconds when the vehicle is started - this is a light that comes on at regular intervals just to remind you to service your vehicle (it does NOT indicate malfunction) and can be reset. The dashboard informational display works and all settings read appropriately. All of the gauges read properly and there are no abnormal readings. The engine runs smooth with no lack of power at all. The keyless entry system appears to be working properly with the key fob. Extremely nice running and driving vehicle! Cosmetically -- this car looks in excellent shape. The exterior paint is in excellent condition. There is no visible rust on the body. All glass is in-tact and in good condition with the exception of a small crack below the sight line in the windshield (see pics). The alloy wheels are in exceptionally good condition. The interior is in very extremely nice condition with no rips or major discoloration. OEM floor mats are included although in used condition. Check out the pictures - they speak for themselves! I have tried to capture both the positives and the flaws in those pictures. There is a minor dent just in front of the passenger side rear wheel in the dog-leg, there is slight cracking on the interior wood grain below the shifter, and some of the leather inserts on the doors are no longer tight, (see pics). These are very minor imperfections that are consistent with the vehicle age. Overall, this Volvo shows extremely nice and will be a vehicle that you can be proud of! I have tried my best to represent this vehicle accurately and to the best of my abilities. Earning and keeping a 100% positive feedback rating is very important to me! I purchase most of my vehicles as trade-ins from new car dealerships as traded. I test drive each vehicle on the expressway and around town for at least 20 miles, often over 100 miles, and use that experience to represent the vehicle to you on eBay.

Only VW, Volvo are doing enough to electrify in Europe, study says
Wed, Jun 16 2021Among major carmakers, Volkswagen and Volvo are doing enough to electrify their vehicle lineups in Europe, and the EU needs to set tougher CO2 emission limits if it wants to meet Green Deal targets, according to a climate group's study. Sales of battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids almost tripled last year, boosted by tighter emission standards and government subsidies. This summer, the European Union is expected to announce more ambitious CO2 targets; by 2030, the average CO2 emissions of new cars should be 50% below 2021 levels, versus the existing target of 37.5%. Volkswagen aims to have 55% group-wide BEV sales in Europe by 2030, while Swedish carmaker Volvo, owned by China's Geely says its lineup will be fully electric by then. VW ID4 front three quarter dark View 19 Photos Based on IHS Markit car production forecasts, according to the study from European campaign group Transport and Environment (T&E), Volkswagen and Volvo have "aggressive and credible strategies" to shift from fossil-fuel cars to electric vehicles. Others like Ford Motor Co have set ambitious targets, "but lack a robust plan to get there," T&E said. Ford plans an all-electric lineup in Europe by 2030. T&E said BMW, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), Daimler AG and Toyota rank the worst as they have low BEV sales, have "no ambitious phase-out targets, no clear industrial strategy, and an over-reliance in the case of BMW, Daimler and Toyota on hybrids." JLR, owned by India's Tata Motors, says its luxury Jaguar brand will be all-electric by 2025, but has been less specific about electrification of its higher-volume Land Rover brand. BMW and Daimler have been reluctant to set hard deadlines for phasing out fossil-fuel cars. T&E said even if carmakers meet their targets, in 2030 BEV sales could be 10 percentage points below those needed to meet the EU's Green Deal — which targets net zero emissions by 2050. Rather than a 50% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2030, based on carmakers' existing production plans, the EU could set more ambitious targets, T&E said - an up to 35% reduction in CO2 emissions from new cars by 2025, around 50% by 2027 and up to 70% in 2030. "Targets need to be gradually tightened so that carmakers not only commit to phasing out fossil fuels, but develop a strategy that gets them there on time," Julia Poliscanova, T&E senior director for vehicles and e-mobility, said in a statement.
Big rig gets blown over on Wyoming freeway, flattens police cruiser
Sun, Feb 12 2017A big rig navigating a stretch of windy Wyoming highway last week was blown over by high winds and landed on a Wyoming Highway Patrol cruiser. According to CBS News, three Wyoming Highway Patrol troopers responded to an accident along Interstate 80 near Elk Mountain on February 7. While the troopers were out of their cars assisting the crash victims, a white Volvo semi-truck lumbered up I-80 toward them. Wind gusts in that part of Wyoming were clocked in at up to 90 miles per hour on Tuesday, and one of them caught the semi as it neared the parked cruisers. Video from one of the cruiser's onboard cameras showed the big rig drift to the right as a big gust hit the trailer. Slowly, the whole rig tipped over and flattened one of the parked cruisers. The truck then slid a few feet on its side and came to a stop just aft of the cruiser. None of the troopers were injured in the incident, and two people in the truck came out of it unhurt as well. Patrol Lieutenant David Wagener told KGWN that that stretch of I-80 was closed on Tuesday to lightweight, high-profile vehicles. The truck driver was cited for the incident. High winds are no joke, and vehicles getting blown around or even clean off the road is a pretty common phenomenon. Way back in 2011, a truck got blown over in Utah. Then there was a train that got blown off a bridge in Louisiana in 2015.

Volvo to unveil permanent high-beam headlamp technology [w/video]
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Volvo will be showing off its Active High Beam technology at the Geneva Motor Show next week. The system will allow drivers to use their high beams all the time and adds another responsibility to the cameras mounted by the rearview mirror, making them detect traffic ahead, whether it be another car or a truck or motorcycle and in the same lane or oncoming. When a vehicle is detected, a special projector in the Xenon lamps can block out only the portion of the high beam that would impair the other driver. Volvo says the system is accurate down to a 1.5-inch margin around another object.
Active High Beam will be fitted to the Volvo S60, V60 and XC60 and we have to assume they mean the non-US versions of those cars. Audi has a similar technology that it calls "matrix beam lighting," and due to the way the US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard code is written, such active control of high beams is verboten on cars sold here.
The Swedish brand also plans to present a collision-avoidance technology it's calling a "world-first." The press release below has more information and the accompanying video demonstrates the lighting tech.
