Volvo Environmental Architecture (VEA)

Swedish manufacture Volvo plans to stop producing engines with more than 4 cylinders. The new engine family will be called the Volvo Environmental Architecture (VEA) and will include 4 and 3 cylinders engines; the target is lighter by about 200 pounds. Another ambitious goal for the Swedes is to reduce fuel consumption by an average of 35%, respectively, and the reducing of harmful CO2 emissions.

The first members in the new family will be 1.5-liter three-cylinder and 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engines, which will be presented in 2013.
