Maine Buying Guide to Cleaner Cars Maine Buying Guide to Cleaner Cars Cleaner Cars Mean Cleaner Air, Less Global Warming Pollution and Less Dependence on Foreign Oil Even a small change in how much you drive, the vehicle you drive, or the fuel you use can make a big difference to Maine’s air quality, global warming pollution, your health, your pocketbook and national energy independence. Sometimes you can walk, ride your bike, carpool or take a bus or train to get where you want to go, and that’s the best way to go. But, when you need to drive, you can also choose a cleaner car. Cleaner cars (see list below) can be fueled by gasoline, natural gas, propane, bio-diesel, ultra low sulphur diesel, or electric batteries. Hybrid cars use both gasoline and electric engines. Cleaner cars emit far less air and global warming pollution than standard ones and use a lot less fuel, with many models achieving between 30-50 mpg. Cleaner Cars for Maine Sticker Program The Cleaner Cars for Maine Sticker Program is a labeling program that helps car buyers to find the cleanest and most fuel efficient vehicles available. Almost every carmaker has some models that qualify. The Maine Department of Environmental Protection, the Maine Auto Dealers Association and the Natural Resources Council of Maine developed this first-in-the-nation program in 1999. To qualify for the program, a vehicle must be a certified “Low Emission Vehicle” (CALEV or better) that gets at least 30 miles per gallon. Beginning in 2009, about 11 percent of new cars sold in Maine will be either hybrid gas- electric or new clean-burning gasoline-powered cars as a result of new legislation supported by NRCM that was signed into law by Governor Baldacci in 2005.

Same sentence. Introducing the first Volvo to freely inspire the use of adjectives and superlatives rarely mentioned by those not on the payroll. A master- work of automotive design, the all-new Volvo S60 is so beautiful, we suppose pedestrians could be stunned when they first see it. But make no mistake; this is a driver’s car. It moves like no Volvo before. Too sexy to be the safest car ever? We can live with that. 1 S60_MY12_US.indd 1 2010-12-07 14.01 Information Provided by: 2 S60_MY12_US.indd 2 2010-12-07 14.01 Information Provided by: Downright shameless with the affection it shows for curves. Who knew an anti-skid system could be so pro-fun? The advanced chassis developed for the all-new Volvo S60 makes it clear: this is no ordinary Volvo. And utilizing new innovative technology, we have further refined Volvo’s stability enhancing DSTC system to help drivers better realize their intentions – with more assertion, efficiency and dare we say, more pure driving enjoyment. Advanced Stability Control, for example, is a new function that monitors the car’s behavior with high precision to further enhance stability in sharp cornering and rapid lateral movements. Corner traction control through Torque Vectoring is another new feature that helps reduce understeer in fast bends. It also improves acceleration when trying to get up-to-speed while merging with faster moving traffic on a main road.

  • VOLVO Range Every Car We Make Earns This Exclamation Mark
    VOLVO range Every car we make earns this exclamation mark. To design and build a premium car like a Volvo requires the synchronized coordination of many disciplines. Masters of metallurgy, polymer technology, production engineering, aerodynamics, and more, all must share a vision. The results of that vision, applied to our entire range of vehicles, are presented here. From the ground up, every car we make exhibits the Volvo design philosophy: to deliver functionality that is easy to use, easy to understand and therefore beautiful. As you’ll see with every Volvo, form gracefully follows function on the way to complete exhilaration. Upon the closest inspection, you’ll notice the subtle touches that ensure Volvo cars have few rivals when it comes to refinement and safety. For example, the luxurious interior upholsteries, textiles and leathers all have been tested to even keep you safe from certain allergens or harmful emissions. Our relentless attention to the smallest details like this reinforces our steadfast dedication to the bigger picture—the safety and wellbeing of everyone who builds, drives, rides in or shares the road with a Volvo. To that end, every car we create earns the Volvo emblem—the circle and arrow symbol that is based on the centuries old alchemists’ symbol for iron. If the new Volvo you drive makes a statement, this little detail adds the exclamation mark. 2 3 You can only drive one at a time, but feel free to imagine otherwise. All of the Volvo cars presented here share a muscular Scandinavian design that invites one and all aboard.

  • The Volvo V70
    PRESS INFORMATION The new Volvo V50 Sportswagon for young, dynamic and demanding families • Sportswagon with attractive design and practical features • Target group young families with an active lifestyle • Annual target 74,000 cars • Germany and Sweden the largest markets The new Volvo V50 is what is known as a sportswagon – a modern descendant of a range of previous Volvo models in which a sporty design has been spiced up with practical features. “The emphasis has been placed on attractive design and a sense of sportiness, with a ‘bonus’ in the form of practical details and extra luggage space,” says Volvo Cars’ President and CEO, Hans-Olov Olsson. The design language and the equipment level in the new Volvo V50 are also taking a step upwards – towards the larger estate model, the Volvo V70. “The Volvo V50 is smaller, but it still offers customers the properties of a large car in a compact format. Combined with an exciting design and exceptional road manners, this makes the car an extremely powerful challenger in this segment,” adds Hans-Olov Olsson Rejuvenating the brand is an important factor in the Volvo Cars strategy. Volvo Cars is expecting the new Volvo V50 to appeal first and foremost to families with children where the parents are aged between 30 and 40. “The entry level for our V models will become even more attractive. The new Volvo V50 is a genuine premium car, with properties that appeal directly to young families which set demanding standards for car ownership, when it comes to both design and the scope for an active lifestyle,” Hans-Olov Olsson continues.

As directed by the 2006 ordinance (Exhibit 1 - SLC Code 12.56.205), a qualifying vehicle was required to either achieve a minimum EPA designated city fuel economy rating of 41 MPG or an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Air Pollution Score (a.k.a. Smog Rating) of at least 8 (on a scale of 1-10). In 2018, the Salt Lake City Council passed an ordinance, amending ordinance 12.56.205, to introduce more stringent criteria for vehicles qualifying for the program. This was done due to the high numbers of vehicles qualifying for the program, the expected rapid acceleration of new vehicles qualifying and to ensure that the free parking incentive is only provided, ongoing, to the cleanest, most efficient vehicles.
