25 May 2023|2,095 views
Volvo has announced that the EX30 will have the smallest carbon footprint of any model from the firm to date.
This footprint is said to total 30 tonnes, with over 200,000 kms of driving included. This, admittedly, still looks like a large volume, but it is actually a sizable 25% reduction against the footprint of the fully electric C40 and XC40 models.
A wide array of recycled material including denim, flax, and a wool-blend, are all said to be utilised in the cabin of the Volvo EX30 The Volvo EX30 of course, being a smaller car, has the advantage of using less steel and aluminium than the C40 or XC40, but Volvo has built on this advantage by making extensive use of recycled metal to build the EX30. Close to 25% of the aluminium is recycled, as is 17% of the steel used in the EX30.
A total of 17% of all plastics in the car, from interior components to exterior bumpers, are also made from recycled material, the highest percentage in any Volvo car to date. This will pair with the use of recycled and renewable materials for the seats, dashboard and doors, which make use of materials such as denim, flax and a wool-blend that also contains around 70% recycled polyester.
Volvo additionally states that the EX30 will be manufactured in a plant that is powered by high levels of climate-neutral energy, including 100% climate-neutral electricity. The firm will also make use of blockchain technology to trace the origins of critical raw materials that go into the battery pack of the car. These include materials such as lithium, manganese, cobalt, graphite and nickel.
