At the end of this decade, Volvo will only offer electric motor cars.
It is by a short press release that Volvo has formalized the new.By 2030, the Swedish brand will be 100 % electric.It will therefore remove from its range all models equipped with an internal combustion engine, including hybrid vehicles.
To date, Volvo only offers a 100 % electric model, and it is even a variant of a vehicle that exists with thermal blocks.This is the XC40 P8.But it will be joined this year by the first vehicle of the brand thought only in electric, a new model in the range 40.
Volvo will then quickly chain to have a full range of electrics.A teaser shows seven silhouettes.As early as 2025, the 100 % electric should represent half of the firm's sales.The rest, it will be hybrid.
Convinced that the thermal has already started a decline, Volvo indicates that its decision is based on the rapid development of accessible and efficient charging infrastructures.He also prefers to take the lead on legislation, which will be more and more severe.
Electrification will also rhyme with digitalization.These new models will be online only online.The brand wants to simplify the acquisition process via its website, by reducing the number of steps.The manufacturer explains that customers will be able to "choose from several electric models with complete and attractive configurations, which will be easy to order and quickly delivered".The brand will offer pre-negotiated prices, for "more transparency".
Håkan Samuelsson, boss of Volvo, said: "To continue to prosper, we need profitable growth.Thus, rather than investing in loss of speed, we bet on the future, namely electricity and online sales ".
