Volvo says goodbye to diesel: last XC90 becomes a museum piece. All models should be electrified by 2030.
There will then be no more combustion engines. The aim is to achieve net zero emissions by 2040. In 2023, the Swedes increased sales of electric cars by 70 percent. The Volvo 244 GL D6 came at a time when diesel was very popular with taxi and long-distance drivers. But with the diesel scandal at VW in 2015, the popularity of this type of engine declined.
