Description
Objectives

The project concerns the part-financing of AB Volvo Group’s annual R&D expenditures in the 2009-2010 period.

The project concerns investments in research and development for future low emission engines and related chassis development for transport and construction vehicles.

Environmental aspects
Procurement

The project concerns investments in research and development that will be carried out in existing facilities already authorised. An EIA therefore is not required by EIA Directive 85/337/EC, amended by Directives 97/11/EC. Overall, the project is expected to have a neutral impact on the environment, while the products of the programme will significantly reduce diesel engine harmful emissions with a direct positive impact on the environment and public health.

Procurement is expected to be in line with EIB guidelines for private sector projects. The Bank’s services will verify details during the project’s due diligence.
