Volvo Car Canada and Dilawri, Canada’s largest automotive group, have opened North America’s first Volvo Retail Sustainable Experience (VRSE) facility, Volvo Cars Richmond, in Richmond, BC.
The new 20,400 sq. ft. location reflects the brands’ shared commitment to sustainability: it is LEED-certified, runs on renewable energy sources, and includes a wide array of environmentally friendly features, from rooftop solar panels to sustainable building materials.
In line with VRSE standards, Volvo Cars Richmond is fully equipped to serve electric (EV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) customers, with AC and DC fast-charging charging stations. The chargers are powered by a combination of hydro-electric energy from the grid and solar energy, which is generated directly on site.
The dealership is ready to welcome visitors in sustainable comfort, with furniture and flooring made from recycled, non-toxic materials and a VRSE clean water and coffee bar that provides beverages in ways that eliminate the use of single-use plastics.
