The Volvo ECC was built on the Volvo 850 platform. In contrast to most production hybrids, which use a gasoline piston engine to provide additional acceleration and to recharge the battery storage, the Volvo ECC used a gas turbine engine to drive the generator for recharging. This type of engine has a higher thermodynamic efficiency than the conventional internal combustion engine with pistons. Also in Volvo's design, the fuel is evaporated and mixed with air before ignition. This provides a very low NOx emission. The driver can also switch between gas turbine electric and hybrid by switches on the dashboard.

Volvo has finally released their model of the Volvo Concept XC Coupé. The first units have been shipped and some customers have already their copy. The 1:43 scale resin model is a limited edition and comes in a VIP presentation box. Only 1000 numbered models are available. This new Volvo model can only be purchased at Volvo's official merchandising web-shop. This resin made model is available for 130.80 € under item number 2300379-000-000. It might be that a Volvo dealer in your region is offering them too. Or they might be willing to order one for you. It might be smart not to wait too long before buying one if you want this model. The first model of Volvo's concept cars - the Volvo Concept Coupé - is already sold out. Source & copyright : collection.volvocars.com Neo scale Models has published the first photo of the upcoming Volvo Amazon Coune Convertible. The first release of this newly tooled model will be available in gray. The interior will be red together with a red top in the open position. This model will be made out of resin and will be available as 1:43 scale model. You can already pre-order your model under item number NEO45210. The official retail price will probably be 59.90 €. I guess that this new Volvo model will be available in the coming couple of weeks. I'm sure other color versions will follow at a later date. A blue painted model has already been announced as limited edition for the German webshop Model Car World. It will be a limited run of only 300 pieces. You can reserve your model under item # 185703. Neo scale Models has also shown a closed version at last years Toy Fair in Nürnberg. I do not know if they will also produce that version.

Volvo has revealed the first photos of their third Concept car on February 26, 2014. The first scale models of this really great Volvo concept car were released at this years Geneva Motor Show. The first of the 1000 units were available at Volvo's booth as early as March 4, 2014. Volvo's merchandising department is selling the 1:43 scale model for only 111 € at their stand in Geneva. But you don't need to drive to Geneva. You can order it also in Volvo's official web-shop under item number 2300381-000-00. The regular retail price is 126.40 €. You can also check your local Volvo dealer. It might be that he can order you a copy. This resin model is made by Norev and comes in a VIP gift box. It is in my eyes one of the best Volvo scale models ever. You won't get disappointed. Just have a look at the photos I took of my model. A diecast version of this Volvo Concept Estate model will arrive at a later date. The number forty in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas is a Volvo 145 Express Taxi. It was produced from 1970 to 1972. I'm sure that it might not be too difficult to guess why this type of Volvo may have been very popular in Scandinavia for transporting children from and to schools. The scale model is painted in the typically yellow paint used for Taxis. The official code for this paint is 62. It is simply called 'Taxi yellow'.
Volvo has revealed the first photos of their third Concept car two days ago. Volvo's third concept car is 2-door estate who can't deny some similarities with Volvo’s iconic P1800ES. The car will officially be revealed next week at this years Geneva Motor Show. Volvo's merchandising department has already announced a 1:43 scale replica of this Concept car. It seems that the first models will arrive March 7, 2014. This resin model by Norev is once again a limited edition of 1000 units and will come in a VIP gift box. You can order it in Volvo's official web-shop under item number 2300381-000-00. The regular retail price is 126.40 €. You can also check your local Volvo dealer.

The same friendly Volvo fan from Poland who told me that DeAgostini will release a Volvo 343 scale model in a partwork collection in Poland revealed to me that a second Volvo has just been announced in that same collection. The second one is a Volvo 144 painted dark green and featuring a black interior. This Volvo model will be model number 153 in the collection called 'Kultowe Auta PRL'. It will be available starting from the ninth of July, 2014. This 1:43 scale diecast model is made by Ixo in China. You will be able to buy this model for 21.90 PLN ( ~5.50 € ) in news-stand and other shops offering magazines and newspapers in Poland. This partwork collection is called 'Kultowe Auta PRL'. This name means 'cult cars of PRL' during the socialist years in Poland. Source & copyright : kultoweauta.pl
Matrix Scale Models has just announced that they will offer the Volvo 264 TE now also in the very common colour dark blue. This new release will only be available in the second half of 2014. The 1:43 scale model will be made of resin. The item number is MX12106-021. You can already pre-order this limited edition scale model. Source & copyright : matrixscalemodels.com Personal note : Matrix Scale Model has revealed me that they intend to offer this release with a black interior. The Volvo 264 TE was however very rarely delivered with a black interior. Blue and light gray interiors were the most common. I have already told this to the guys from Matrix Scale Models. I'm convinced that it might help if they get more emails from customers telling them those facts. Why you should help ? Two reasons : you will have a more precise scale model in your showcase and you will see way better the details of a blue or light gray interior. It's up to you now. The Dutch shop The Diecast CompanY has once again announced four Volvo scale models which will be available in new colors. These Volvo models are the same as those already released in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas and who have also just been announced by Premium-X ( see here ). These 1:43 scale diecast models made by Ixo will be available for 30.99 € a piece. The 'The Diecast CompanY' writes that those models will be released in the second quarter. But this is in my eyes very doubtful since their previously announced models from last autumn are still not available.
