Fore! Here is Volvo Cars’ first production car ever to run on electricity. What is more, it’s pretty capable off-road.
The C70-inspired Volvo Golf Cart is recharged overnight and can be driven sixty kilometres on a single charge.

Lower weight with one seat

Most golf carts are two-seaters. Not the Volvo Golf Cart, which has just one seat. It is thus much lighter than its competitors are.

It is an exact scaled-down version of the C70. The colour is Electric Silver. An accompanying tow-hook makes it possible to tow a small trailer.

In addition to golf courses, the cart can be used in recreation facilities and for light transport duties at shows and trade fairs, for instance.
