It makes Volvo Cars one of the most renowned premium car brands. What else makes Volvo so special? People.

Sustainable and innovative: our basis for electrification
At Volvo, we are looking forward to a new future, a future where electrification, autonomous driving and connection are the keywords.
By 2025, we expect half of all Volvo cars sold to be fully electric cars. In addition, all newly developed Volvo models introduced since 2019 will have a variant equipped with an electric motor. More than a century after the invention of the internal combustion engine, we are making way for a new chapter in automotive history.
Volvo is going to present a diverse range of all-electric, "plug-in hybrid" and "mild hybrid" models in the coming years. The first fully electric Volvo, the XC40 Recharge, has been produced at the Ghent plant since the second half of 2020. The second all-electric Volvo, the C40 Recharge, since the second half of 2021.
