Volvo says all of its 2019 models will have electric drive, making it the first big auto company to switch from traditional internal-combustion engines.
“This announcement marks the end of the solely combustion engine-powered car,” chief executive Håkan Samuelsson said in a statement. “Volvo Cars has stated that it plans to have sold a total of one million electrified cars by 2025. When we said it we meant it. This is how we are going to do it.”
