Volvo shows commitment to ‘Clean Sky’
The environment is everything these days for engine manufacturers and suppliers, as initiatives such as the recently launched European Commission Clean Sky

The environment is everything these days for engine manufacturers and suppliers, as initiatives such as the recently launched European Commission Clean Sky program drive ever more advanced ideas on reducing emissions and noise.

Volvo Aero (Stand No. Q35) manufactures components for 90 percent of the world’s large commercial engines and the Swedish company is deeply involved in the Clean Sky effort. On its stand is an example of the rear turbine structure it developed under the EC’s Antle (affordable near-term low emissions) program, which yielded technology now used in the GP7200 powering the Airbus A380 and in the GEnx aboard the Boeing 787.
