Volvo To Offer HD Radio On Most Models

BOSTON -- November 27, 2007: Beginning in fall 2008, Volvo will be offering factory-installed HD Radio receivers as standard or optional equipment on most models.

In an announcement at the Boston International Auto Show Tuesday, Volvo said it will offer multicast-capable HD receivers in its S40 T5, V50 T5, C30, C70, S80, V70, XC70, and XC90 models.

"We believe Volvo will have the largest standard-equipped HD Radio technology fleet in the world," said Volvo Cars of North America VP/Brand, Business & Product Dirk Bott. "Our drivers expect the highest quality in every aspect of their vehicles. Adding HD Radio capability .. truly makes our audio systems state of the art."

Ford Motor Co. began offering HD Radio receivers as a dealer-installed option on most 2008 Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury models in September.

More than 1,500 radio stations are now broadcasting in HD Radio, with more than 700 of those stations airing multicast programming.
