Volvo announced plans this week to add factory-installed HD Radio receivers to nearly every one of vehicles, starting in mid-2008. The receivers will be available as standard or optional equipment on most models, Radio Ink reports.
"We believe Volvo will have the largest standard equipped HD Radio technology fleet in the world," says Dirk Bott, Vice President of Brand, Business and Product for Volvo cars of North America. "Adding HD Radio capability to our S40 T5, V50 T5, C30, C70, S80, V70, XC70 and XC90 models truly makes our audio systems state of the art, giving Volvo drivers an even more enjoyable driving experience."
The move comes less than two months after parent company Ford Motor Company announced similar widespread adoption of factory-installed HD radios for a variety of 2009 Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles, trucks and SUVs.
