Smart repair

away with scratches and dents: improve the appearance and value of your volvo

Even on the best maintained volvo, they will eventually show up: small dents, dings on the door, or dents caused by stone impact or hail. These not only look unsightly, they also reduce the value of your car. Good that you can now remedy the situation quickly and easily. And at a reasonable price!

volvo’s specially trained technicians are able to remove dents in a way that eliminates the need for sanding, filling and repainting. With the intelligent and innovative dent removal technique PDR (paintless dent repair).

They use special tools and methods to press the metal back into its original shape from the back side. As long as the paint isn’t cracked and the dent isn’t too close to the edge of the body panel, this will remove almost any dent up to the size of a soccer ball. You don’t have to take your car to a body and paint shop for several days, in most cases we can dent repair your car while you are having a cup of coffee. In any case, you can take your Volvo back the same day. Saves a lot of time and expensive body repair work. Not to mention the cost of having your insurance upgraded.

Therefore: ask our experts. Just bring your volvo by and we’ll take a look at your vehicle together. Our experienced technicians will then tell you if the dents in your volvo can be removed using the PDR process, and provide you with a schedule and cost estimate!

Tip: why not have your vehicle checked at your next service appointment?.

Your advantages at a glance:

No paint work required
Significantly less expensive
Ready immediately, or the same day

No color deviations
Maintaining the value of your vehicle
The good feeling of driving a volvo that looks like new

Car care

Bright prospects: car care from the specialist

your volvo is exposed to constant dirt and wear inside and out. To ensure that you still feel as good in your volvo after years as you did on the first day, you should have it professionally reconditioned by your volvo dealer on a regular basis.

Our trained reconditioners maintain and clean your volvo inside and out. You know exactly where dirt hides, how best to remove it and what you need to do to keep your volvo like new for longer. You work in an environmentally friendly way and use exactly the right products in the right quantities. Let your volvo dealer advise you and then decide which care your volvo needs. No matter how dirty your volvo is, you can be sure that you will get it back properly clean. Most of the time it even looks like new. This good feeling is perhaps the best reason for our professional reconditioning services. But don’t listen to promises, see for yourself. simply make an appointment with your volvo dealer.

What’s best for you?
In order to make your decision easy, we have put together different care packages for you. From a thorough cleaning of all important and visible parts of your volvo to long-term protection with waxing, polishing and greasing of trims, we offer you the right care package for you. It’s best to discuss this with your volvo dealer when you register your volvo.

Tip: combine the practical with the beautiful and arrange a car care with your volvo dealer at the same time as your next service appointment. Many volvo dealers also offer additional services, such as engine washing or leather and textile care. ask your volvo dealer what additional services he offers you.

Starting this summer, the EU Commission is revising the CO2 limits for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. The opportunity must be seized to make them fit for the climate policy challenges and the technological development in e-mobility.

While CO2 emissions in other sectors, such as energy supply, are falling, transport remains the the problem child of climate policymore and more cars and trucks on the road mean that emissions in this sector have actually risen slightly since 1990 and are currently stagnating at a high level. the transport sector was only able to meet the targets set by the german climate protection act for 2020 due to the pandemic-related decline in vehicle mileage.

In the EU, transport is responsible for one-third of the EU’s greenhouse gas emissions, about half of which, or 15 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions, come from passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. And there’s no end in sight: according to estimates by the International Energy Agency (IEA), the global vehicle population will increase to around 1.7 billion by 2035, which means that a further increase in emissions caused by cars is to be feared.

Background

Legally binding CO2 limits have been in place in the EU for the first time since 2015. Previously, a voluntary commitment by car manufacturers to reduce greenhouse gas emissions had failed. The limits are specified in grams of CO2 per kilometer and apply to the average of all newly registered cars of a manufacturer in the EU, i.e. they are fleet limits. The fleet of a manufacturer also includes vehicles from different brands (audi is part of VW). purely electric cars enter the balance sheet with 0g CO2/km. The regulation contains numerous loopholes, for example a bonus for particularly heavy vehicles, which means that the actual limit value to be complied with is higher than the target value.

When it was launched in 2015, a fleet limit of 130g CO2/km applied. This has been tightened to 95g from 2020, initially with an exemption for the dirtiest 5 percent of the new car fleet. Since 2021, the limit value has applied to the entire fleet. Manufacturers will have to pay a penalty of 95 euros per vehicle sold for each gram above the limit value. In the last revision of the regulation in 2019, it was agreed that carmakers must reduce emissions from their fleets by 15 percent by 2015 and 37.5 percent by 2030, compared with a base year of 2021. In 2019, the EU agreed to become carbon-neutral by 2050 and is revising the fleet limits again. A draft is expected from the EU Commission this summer.

CO2 requirements take effect

There is no way around a drastic increase in the efficiency of each individual vehicle. Ambitious CO2 targets are one of the most effective measures for reducing vehicle fuel consumption. As a result, the average CO2 emissions of new cars in the EU have been reduced by more than three percent annually since 2008 – before that, manufacturers only managed a meager one percent.

Despite all the claims of the auto industry, the market does not automatically regulate fuel consumption in the direction of greater efficiency, rather the opposite: the demand for heavy off-road vehicles for the city as well as high-performance sedans and sports cars has increased disproportionately in recent years and led to a real boom in these segments. Low weight and air resistance or moderate engine power – in short, all the factors that would be important for achieving the lowest possible fuel consumption and CO2 emissions – have long since ceased to be an issue there.

Since 2020, a fleet limit value of 95g CO2 per kilometer has been in force for the first time for all newly registered vehicles in the EU. But the regulation has numerous loopholes: high vehicle weights, a bonus system for electric vehicles and unrealistic measurement methods allow manufacturers to emit much more CO2 on average. But even this leeway has not been enough: VW will have to pay a three-digit million amount for violating the limit values in 2020. With the introduction of electromobility, the regulation provides little incentive to invest in more fuel-efficient combustion engines. Electric vehicles enter the fleet balance with 0g CO2/km. The consequence: the burners in the fleet are allowed to emit more CO2.

NABU demands

In 2019, the EU launched the european green deal to become climate neutral by 2050. In the course of this, the limit value regulation will also be revised. This step is the right one and must be used to make the regulation fit for the age of electromobility. The coming years will be decisive for the question of whether and how transport can become climate-neutral. In its info paper, NABU sets out clear demands for what needs to be done now to define a realistic path to phasing out internal combustion engines by 2030 and to climate neutrality in 2050.

The demands in detail

1. In the interests of phasing out internal combustion engines, in 2030 there must be a limit value of 0g CO2 per km for all newly registered vehicles in the EU. Milestones for 2023: reduction of 15 percent, for 2025: reduction of 44 percent, for 2027: reduction of 75 percent.

2. Upper limit for internal combustion engines: the burners in a fleet must not exceed the average EU-wide fleet value for 2021, measured according to the WLTP test cycle.

3. Efficiency standards for battery electric vehicles must be included in the regulation.

4. The fuel consumption data that manufacturers will have to report to the EU from this year onwards will be transparent, publicly available and subject to regular spot checks. In particular, this applies to the currently completely unrealistically measured plug-in hybrids.

5. The possibility of mitigating the specific limit value through low-emission vehicles (ZLEV factor), must be deleted without replacement.

6. The weight bonus is abolished.

7. A crediting of e-fuels must not be made possible.

Top 5: online route planner

1. Google maps route planner

top 5: overview of the best route planners - falk, google maps, map24 and co.

where the search engine dominates the market, the first step in route planning often leads to google maps – even if it’s only to briefly estimate how long a trip will take or how many kilometers have to be covered. the data specialist google can also convince in terms of content: tested in the independent site’s test.december 2010 google maps took the first place among route planners. in the print view of google maps you can also show a map for each individual driving instruction if you wish. thanks to the interface, websites can also implement their own route planners tailored to their needs with google maps.

2. Falk route planner

the patented city map specialist falk also offers a free route planner. in addition to the basic functions such as route and travel time, you can also calculate travel costs (with a flat rate) and fuel costs (depending on consumption) here. In addition, the falk route planner also offers some additional functions such as hotel bookings and information on places of interest.

3. Navteq map24

the map24 route planner accesses navteq data just like its falk counterpart, but arranges the data in a more conventional way. for the display we do not use bing maps (as with falk.De), but its own navteq interface.

Very fancy: map24 also offers a 3D route flight, which lets you run through the route from a three-dimensional perspective. If you have a good memory, you may be able to remember the route and do without the printout:

4. clicktel route planner

the online business and phone directory klicktel already had a street map and a route planner integrated some years ago. You can see that a little bit in the offer, which looks a bit dusty and doesn’t offer too many additional options. at least traffic jam warnings and road works are shown at a glance. Solid.

5. Via michelin route planner

Alt="michelin route" height="" />
besides falk, viamichelin is the second route planner in our list that comes from the "old" map and travel guide business. the offer is also based on quality and offers the "most interesting" and "most economical" route as a selection, as well as tourist stops at the edge of the route – and of course culinary restaurant recommendations. also good: motorcyclists and cyclists are offered their own routes.

Route planner – the conclusion

It doesn’t always have to be google maps: viamichelin and falk route planners in particular offer some nice additional functions. Much is also a matter of habit and a question of whether you are interested in more options, or just want to get to the goal somehow. Anyway, we wish you a good and safe trip.
