The Swedish vehicle manufacturer has announced a Greenline initiative to help keep its servicing as environmentally friendly as possible. Its Greenline range recycles components from scrapped Volvos and renews them for servicing.

This programme sets out the same quality control measures to ensure that its Greenline range of components are of the same quality of new ones, the added benefit being that its Greenline components are more ecologically and economically produced.

Parts refurbished include subframes, propshafts, throttle assemblies, and various brackets, with the added benfit of on average a 20 to 30 percent saving on the cost of a new component.

Volvo have promised other components will be added to the range as and when they become available.
