Volvo has started production of its new Volvo Engine Architecture (VEA) powertrains this week, with the range destined for a role in nearly all of the carmaker's model lines. 

Announded at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, the VEA range will include a number of petrol and diesel four-cylinder engines, and a new three-cylinder engine will debut in the future.

Volvo remains quiet on the specifics of the new engines, although it confirmed earlier this year that the diesel units will feature a world-first system known as i-ART. 

The technology sees a pressure sensor fitted to each fuel injector, rather than the sole unit used by existing common-rail diesel systems, enabling more accurate metering of fuel delivery to each cylinder.
