Original Volvo Agreement
We, the Volvo Group, therefore take the liberty
of proposing an outline of a four-year
(2007-2010) bilateral RD co-operation between
U.S. and Sweden with a total project cost
estimate to 144 M US. Out of this amount we
seek support in US for 17M US and in Sweden for
38M US while the remaining 89M US comes from
Volvo.

Zero CO2 Trucks

• 08/29/2007
• Volvo displays carbon-dioxide-free trucks

• Volvo Group
• The Volvo Group is the first vehicle manufacturer
  to produce seven demonstration trucks that can
  all be driven without emitting any
  environmentally harmful carbon dioxide.
• These trucks were exhibited for the first time
  today in Stockholm and are equipped with diesel
  engines that have been modified to operate on
  seven different types of renewable liquid and
  gaseous fuels.
• Volvo is part of the climate problem, but today
  we have shown that carbon-dioxide free transports
  are a possibility and that we as a vehicle
  manufacturer both can and will be part for the
  solution to the climate issue, says Leif
  Johansson, CEO of the Volvo Group.

Invitation to Meeting of Major Economies on
Energy Security and Climate Change

• August 2, 2007
• Dear Prime Minister
• In recent years, science has deepened our
  understanding of climate change and opened new
  possibilities for confronting it.
• I was pleased to join the other G-8 Leaders in
  June in recognizing the vital need for the major
  economies to work together to achieve the common
  objectives of reducing global greenhouse gas
  emissions, increasing energy security and
  efficiency, and sustaining economic growth. The
  G-8 Leaders also welcomed my proposal, announced
  on May 31, 2007, that the United States convene
  the major economies to further these objectives.
  The United States is committed to collaborating
  with other major economies to agree on a detailed
  contribution for a new global framework by the
  end of 2008, which would contribute to a global
  agreement under the U.N. Framework Convention on
  Climate Change by 2009.
• To this end, I have asked Secretary Rice to host
  a meeting of major economies in Washington, D.C.,
  on September 27 - 28, 2007. I intend to address
  the conference.
• At this meeting, we would seek agreement on the
  process by which the major economies would, by
  the end of 2008, agree upon a post-2012 framework
  that could include a long-term global goal,
  nationally defined mid-term goals and strategies,
  and sector-based approaches for improving energy
  security and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
• In addition, we expect to place special emphasis
  on how major economies can, in close cooperation
  with the private sector, accelerate the
  development and deployment of clean technologies,
  a critical component of an effective global
  approach to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
• We plan to follow this initial session with a
  series of meetings throughout 2008 to further
  refine our plans and accelerate our progress on
  this important challenge.
• I am pleased to invite your country, along with
  other major economies and the U.N., to
  participate in this meeting. To assure a focused
  and productive discussion, I ask that you kindly
  designate a senior official who will personally
  represent you in this process and a delegation of
  up to three additional senior officials able to
  address the environmental, energy security, and
  economic aspects of climate change. This could
  include representatives from your energy,
  transportation, environment, finance, commerce,
  or foreign ministries. James L. Connaughton,
  Chairman of the Council on Environmental Quality,
  will serve as my personal representative, and our
  delegation will consist of senior officials
  responsible for economic, energy, and climate
  policy. The U.S. delegation will be in contact
  with your representatives in the coming weeks to
  finalize the agenda.
• I look forward to working together to find a
  global solution to these critical challenges.
• Sincerely,
