According to the NYT, this is the boldest commitment by a conventional car maker, to the new technology. Volvo will then be the first car maker to shake off its reliance on the manufacturing of internal combustion engine propelled cars. Wow!
We are committed to electrification, so from 2019 all new Volvo car models will include an electric motor. #VolvoCarsEVs pic.twitter.com/FWGVKyAdgo
