Volvo and Saab to collaborate on plug-in hybrid program

PHEVs will be a bit larger than this Volvo C30 PHEV concept

Saab and Volvo will partner on a pilot project to test 10 plug-in hybrid vehicles in Sweden according to GreenCarCongress. A number of other Swedish companies are also involved, such as ETC Battery, which will contribute lithium-ion batteries for the project.

Aside from trying to create a market for PHEVs in Sweden, the program will also “demonstrate what a simple, marketable, full solution for plug-in hybrids would look like”.
