SWEDISH CITIES Gothenburg and Stockholm will be used for Volvo's first service trials of hybrid-drive refuse vehicles. Volvo has been given £715,000 in financial support by the Swedish Energy Agency for the project, which was set up to develop hybrid technology for heavy vehicles. Each city will be using a single test vehicle which will be checked regularly by Volvo. The aim of the project is to achieve a 30% fuel saving.
