To launch the new Volvo hybrid,
the XC90 T8, we didn’t create an ad. We invented a new technology.

Customized digital billboard:
thanking to each car brand that passed by
A peristaltic system was developed to capture energy from cars using only hydraulic power. It’s main component is a mat that contains tubes that are full of water. When a car drives over the mat,
it compresses the tubes and its forward momentum pushes the water through, generating hydraulic power.
The hydraulic power is then turned into electricity. After over 4 months developing the technology,
we hijacked a highway in California and used the system to steal energy from other cars to power the new Volvo hybrid SUV. A special billboard thanked all the other car brands for their power.
