Future Looks Greener With So Many Electric Cars

Volvo seems to be following Toyota in its efforts to come up with a successful electric car. With an expected increase in demand of electric cars and also a stress on adopting greener vehicles by the European Union and Governments across the world, the research seems to be in the right direction. And nothing could have been better for Volvo at this time.

The electric car model is based on the looks of C-30 model of Volvo cars. While the prototype is not the first one to be showed, the fact that this will be displayed at the Detroit Auto Show in 2010 clearly establishes this prototype or C30 variant as the one that has been given a go-ahead by the development team after completing their testing and improvements.

Volvo seems to have come far after displaying the first variant of electric car in September 2009. The company has confirmed that the car on display at Detroit Auto Show will feature complete interiors. If you look at this from an analyst’s point of view then this particular variant of electric car from Volvo looks like a stable prototype that could go on to become a commerically marketable brand for Volvo. Infact, the company expects that they will be able to commercially market the electric car C30 by 2011. For sure, this is another indication of the confidence of Volvo with the current level of developed C30.

If all goes well, Volvo expects the C30s to be commercially available from 2011, and this is by far a very strong message from Volvo and clearly shows their preparedness and confidence in the electric car segment. Only time will tell if there are other manufacturers who will be able to market commerically.

On an analysis of the emerging electric car market that is being driven by dense research by bigger players, we can conclude that Volvo has made considerable progress in achieving the important milestone of developing a commercially feasible electric car. Coming close to similar successful developments of Toyota with Prius, it all looks very green for electric cars. Future looks really green with so many electric cars coming out in Detroit Auto Show.
