The Volvo Engine Architecture[13] (VEA) is a family of straight-three and straight-four automobile petrol and diesel engines produced by Volvo Cars in Skövde,[30] Sweden, since 2013,[31] Zhangjiakou,[32] China, since 2016[33] and Tanjung Malim, Malaysia, since 2022 by Proton.[34] Volvo markets all engines under the Drive–E[35][19][36] designation,[37] while Geely groups the three-cylinder variants with its other engines under the G-power[38] name. These engines are some of the few ever put into production as twincharged engines, in the company of the Lancia Delta S4 and concept Jaguar CX-75.
