Volvo to make only electric cars after 2019

All new Volvo cars from 2019 will have electric motors, and the company will phase out combustion engines entirely


The Associated Press

July 5, 2017



HELSINKI – Volvo will begin producing electric motors on all its cars from 2019, becoming the first traditional automaker to forgo the combustion engine altogether.

The Swedish company, which has been making cars since 1927 and has in recent decades become famous for its station wagons and safety features, said Wednesday that the decision was prompted by the wishes of customers, describing it as “one of the most significant moves by any car maker.”

Volvo Cars said it aims to reach its target of selling 1 million electrified cars by 2025, with a range of models, including fully electric vehicles and hybrid cars...........

Wow I'm shocked, this is a huge step.

VOLVO leading the charge no less.

We will probably see the shift to elecric cars as the norm in our lifetime. We'll be middle aged / old men... but it will happen.
