Read excerpt
When Volvo recently took the wraps off its first long-range plug-in hybrid at a posh recording studio in London, Frank Vacca, director of vehicle product planning for the Americas described it as “a great leap forward.” The reason is the electric range – all 126 kilometres of it.

But it also holds another accolade: being one of the most stolen vehicles in the country, according to insurance organization Équité Association. “We really don’t like the data showing that the F-150 is on the top-10 stolen list both in the U.S. and Canada,” admitted Ian Grotenhuis, secure product manager at Ford Motor Company.
