High efficient transportation is vital to economy development, environmental protection and social progress. VOLVO showed new strong-power trucks during the tech show. As our journalist observed, bigger loading capacity is an effective way to raise transportation efficiency, and one VOLVO truck can pull two trailers.

Alternate energy source will be widely used in the future. Volvo has developed seven alternate energy sources to be used on commercial vehicles, namely biodiesel, methanol/alcohol, biogas, combining diesel, DME, hydrogen biogas, biogas+biodiesel. They deem that DME is a high-efficient reproducible alternate energy source. The energy only emits a little vapor, and its CO2 emission will be zero if produced from plant materials. DME is a rather simple chemical product compared with biogas with less production costs. Senior vice president of public and environmental affairs said that DME has wider markets in China, and they are expecting to enter this market. Volvo group has applied natural gas on buses and coaches since mid-1990, and their new natural gas engine gas reached Euro 5 and EEV directive standards.
