Volvo XC90 commits highway robbery

This is not a news article where robbers make use of Alphards and Vellfires to commit crimes but a robbery of a different calibre. Volvo has invented an innovative way to recharge their XC90 with a T8 engine under its bonnet with the momentum of cars on the road!

A team of engineers came together and created a contraption to be installed on the road to absorb the momentum of other cars when they drive across it. The machine will transfer the energy absorbed there then converted into electric energy to be transferred into the Volvo XC90.

We’ll let the engineers tell you how it all works and while you’re at it, check out what it had taken to set up the whole video.
