Despite heavy rain during the 2007 final of the
Sweden Touring Car Championship (STCC), Robert Dahlgren, driver
of Volvo's E85-powered S60, secures silver with a second-place
victory. He is the only driver to drive a bioethanol-powered
racing car throughout the season. Continuing its green
initiatives, Volvo Cars has announced a three-year development
program for an E85-fueled C30, which will replace the S60 racing
car next
season.
