Volvo needs help

A crisis has enveloped Swedish auto manufacturer Volvo, part of the American company Ford: The Swedish government must act now to protect its domestic car industry from European climate protection guidelines, suggests the daily paper Göteborgs-Posten, whose readership is most affected by the Volvo crisis. "The administration has good reasons to guard the interests of both Saab and Volvo. According to one recommendation, European car manufacturers would have to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by an average of 130 grams per kilometre by 2012. That will be tough for Volvo, whose models start at 180-190 grams per kilometre, whereas the competition, which has a broader selection of smaller vehicles, starts at around 160 grams. It is perfectly reasonable to ask for a later deadline for firms producing a larger percentage of bigger cars. And the Swedish administration definitely should not pass even tougher domestic regulations. To be sure, Sweden must act in solidarity with other countries regarding climate policy. But a policy of big talk that puts the screws on Sweden's vital domestic market of Volvo and Saab will not save the climate.”
