Volvo Bahrain unveiled the EX30, the marque’s first small premium SUV and the newest model in its all-electric lineup. The launch was made during the inaugural edition of EV Forum, Bahrain’s first electric vehicle forum, held at the Gulf Hotel and organized by the Bahrain Insurance Association. In attendance were Volvo Regional Business Manager – Middle East, John Duggan; Ebrahim K. Kanoo (EKK) Directors, Waleed Ebrahim Kanoo, Khaled Kanoo, Isa Kanoo, and top management members, as well as several notable figures from regional and international organizations in the automotive industry.

The new Volvo EX30 is a small, fully electric SUV designed to be ready for the modern era by producing a smaller CO2 footprint than any Volvo car ever before.

By tackling emissions across the entire production and lifecycle of the Volvo EX30, Volvo managed to reduce the car’s total carbon footprint over 200,000 kms of driving to below 30 tonnes. This is a 25% reduction compared to its fully electric C40 and XC40 models – a good step towards the company’s aim to cut overall CO2 emissions per car by 40% between 2018 and 2025.
