Volvo will leave the petrol engines in all their cars

All Volvo cars will be equipped with electric motors or hybrid motors.

All Volvo cars will be equipped with electric motors or hybrid engines, starting in 2019. This was stated by the automaker CEO Hakan Samuelsson.

So, Volvo became the first major car manufacturer, which announced the abandonment of traditional internal combustion engines.

“Volvo Cars has promised to sell 1 million electric vehicles by 2025, and we used to deliver on its promises. That’s exactly what we intend to achieve it,” said Samuelsson.

Note, after the acquisition of Volvo by the Chinese Geely in 2010 the company has intensified its efforts on the development and implementation of electric motors. China is the world’s largest market for cars with these engines, but Geely is the only Chinese car company supplying its products to the United States, the second largest market.
