Volvo has prepared a guide to the new child seat legislation and its child safety range which will be available from Volvo dealers and the Volvo website: volvocars.co.uk/childsafety.

The new Volvo C30 SportsCoupe will make its world debut¹ at the Paris motor show² where Volvo will have a striking display of its all-new model which can be seen by the public from 30 September to 15 October 2006.

Volvo Car’s successful, multi-media ‘pirate’ treasure hunt¹ to find the one-of-a-kind Volvo XC90 V8 that was buried as part of Volvo’s partnership² with Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, has reached a dramatic conclusion on an exotic island in the Bahamas.

Over eight million TV viewers across Europe watched the remote control 1:5 scale model Volvo XC90 collect javelins, discuses and hammers for the athletes at the European Athletic Championships in Gothenburg last week.

Lancashire Police has introduced seven diesel-engined Volvo S60s to its fleet of Motorway cars. The arrival of the high-powered diesel models, all fitted with Volvo’s award winning 185PS D5 engine, means the Lancashire force is one of the first to move into diesel-powered models.

For Volvo, the British International Motor Show, currently taking place at London’s ExCeL, is exceeding all expectations with sales enquiries, test drive requests and off-road passenger rides well ahead of figures achieved at the last UK show at Birmingham’s NEC in 2004.

A sporty design, two doors, four individual seats and a glass tailgate give the Volvo C30 a unique style and character that will attract new Volvo buyers. The new Volvo C30 will be unveiled to the world at the Paris Motor Show in September and is due to arrive in UK showrooms at the turn of the year.

In response to customer demand, Volvo is adding a dynamic new model to the new XC90 range – the new Volvo XC90 SE Sport. With a specially tuned dynamic chassis, sharper driving characteristics and unique appearance and specifications, the Volvo XC90 SE Sport offers drivers the practicality of an SUV, with more enjoyable handling and distinctive styling.

The Volvo Car UK garden (‘Volvo: The Artist’s Garden’) at the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Hampton Court Palace Flower Show is one of only three in the ‘Show Gardens’ category to receive a Gold medal in the RHS awards for exhibitors.

Volvo has sponsored another garden by designer Thomas Hoblyn at the Royal Horticultural Society’s Hampton Court Palace Flower Show 2006, which runs until 9 July.
