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.

Volvo Recharge. Responsible luxury.

We introduce Volvo Recharge – our new line of advanced pure electric and plug-in hybrid cars, designed to give you a refined and more sustainable driving experience. The cars you trust to protect your family, now also help protect their future.

Every new Volvo car we launch will be electrified. Today, we are the only traditional car maker to offer plug-in hybrid options on all our models. And over the next five years, we will launch five new fully electric cars. It is our ambition that by 2025, half of the cars we sell will be electric.


Our latest electric innovations
