Volvo is committed to fully electrifying its lineup by 2030 and has recently taken a major step toward achieving this goal. The brand has offered diesel-powered engines in its passenger vehicles for decades, and this is coming to a quick end. At Climate Week NYC, Volvo stated that its last diesel-powered passenger cars will be produced in 2024. While no diesel-powered Volvo models are sold in the United States, they account for many new Volvo vehicles sold overseas. This major announcement reflects the automaker’s commitment to its pledge toward electrification and to its goal to be carbon-neutral by 2040.
Before this announcement, Volvo stated that it was not spending money developing new combustion engines. The automaker touts the many benefits of electric powertrains, including no emissions, lower maintenance costs, and less vibration and noise in the cabin. Numerous models with electric powertrains are available in the Volvo lineup today, and the offerings are expected to grow going forward. Some of the current offerings are the EX90, the EX30, the XC40 Recharge, and the C40 Recharge.
The current line of Volvo cars and SUVs reflects the automaker’s rapid transition to electrification, and it may hold a model that suits you well. Our focus at Crest Volvo is on the complete satisfaction of each shopper, and we want you to be well-informed about the electric vehicles currently available before you make a final selection.
