Coca-Cola is investing heavily in green cars from Volvo

Volvo's Eco-Safe driving course

GOTENBURG : September 18, 2008 - Almost 200 new company cars, primarily Volvo V70 2.0 Flexifuel models but also V70 2.0D models, will be delivered over the next few days to employees of soft-drinks producer Coca-Cola in Sweden. The cars will be delivered to various locations throughout Sweden, where the drivers will also take part in the Volvo Driving Academy's Eco-Safe course, whose aim is to make the drivers both safer and more energy-conscious behind the wheel.


"This is yet another step in our local pro-environmental work, which we conduct within a variety of areas. Eco-driving, which puts the focus on driving economically, promotes not only lower fuel consumption but also less wear on our new cars and even on our drivers, who benefit from a calmer and more relaxed working environment," says Anne Lindfeldt, press officer at Coca-Cola Drycker Sverige.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of cooperation between Volvo Personbilar Sverige AB (Volvo Car Sweden) and Coca-Cola Drycker i Sverige AB.
