Plug-in hybrid from Volvo in 2012

A Volvo that can be fuelled with electricity from a standard wall socket will be a reality in 2012.

Swedish energy company Vattenfall and the Volvo Car Corporation are launching an industrial joint venture partnership to introduce plug-in hybrids on the market.

The planned cars will be powered by both electricity and diesel.

The Volvo Car Corporation will manufacture the cars and Vattenfall will develop charging systems and supply the cars with electricity.
