Volvo unveils new S60L hybrid vehicle

Volvo Car Group unveiled a plug-in hybrid car on Oct 17 in Beijing as new-energy vehicles gather momentum in the world's largest auto market.

The S60L plug-in hybrid will hit the road in the first half of 2015, the company announced. Manufactured at Volvo's Chengdu plant, it will be the first premium new-energy vehicle to be mass-produced in China.

All Volvo cars produced in China will meet the automaker's stringent safety and quality standards and new energy vehicles are no exception, said the CEO of Volvo Car China Lars Danielson, adding, "We will never risk sacrificing our reputation."
