Hello everyone!

My name is Filip / Philip, and I'am new here!

My english is not the best, but I will try!

I'am from Sweden, live in Gothenburg and work at Volvo Cars in Torslanda (The home of Volvo)

Recently buyed a Volvo S60 D5 Summum Passion red, - 2006.

Fully equipped execpt a sunroof.

I managed to buy the car from the Volvo factory, with many ifs and buts..

This S60 was former a Showcar for Volvo when it was brand new year 2006.

the car has been in exhibitions, events and many more, so it's in Mint condition!

Questions about me or my work at Volvo?

Feel free to ask!

Why we don't have diesel Volvo in north america and the new v40

Emissions regulations are tighter in US than EU, EU6 is close to the US's NOx/PM regulations, but the US has much more stringent OBD. When you look at what the market take would be for a diesel (especially when gas is cheap, and Volvo is low volume) it doesn't make sense to spend the $$ for the development costs.
