VOLVO ELECTRIC VEHICLES
An electrifying era is here
We are proud to be the first car manufacturer to offer a plug-in hybrid for every model in our range. And our first pure electric SUV is arriving late 2020.
Putting our planet first
Our commitment to electrification is rooted in our unquestionably Swedish affinity with the world around us. We care about our environmental impact and our carbon footprint – and long-term, our goal to create a cleaner, safer planet for all. That’s why we’re taking the lead in sustainable mobility.
Volvo. Recharged.
Our cars have always been designed to help protect people. We will now design them to help protect the planet too.
For a safer future
We are recharging everything we do, from our cars to our factories and supply chain. Our ambition is to reduce our carbon footprint by 40% per car by 2025 compared to 2018. And to be climate neutral by 2040. Because we have only one planet.
Volvo Recharge. Our journey towards the vision of a climate neutral future.
2019
All of our cars are available with plug-in hybrid technology. Introduction of mild hybrid powertrains – all newly launched Volvos will be electrified, either hybrids or fully electric. Announcement of Volvo Recharge – our ambition for a climate neutral future.
2019
Launch of a complete electrified carline of plug-in hybrids and pure electric cars, starting with our first pure electric SUV – the XC40 Recharge. Our aim is that around 20% of our annual car sales should be plug-in hybrids.
2025
Our ambition is that around 50% of the cars we sell should be pure electric by 2025, the other 50% to be hybrids.
2040
Our vision is to be climate neutral across our full value chain, in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement.
“By 2025 50% of our new cars will be fully electric. We will have one million electrified Volvo cars on the road and, we aim to achieve climate-neutral manufacturing operations”
