The decision, announced at Climate Week NYC last September, has now been implemented.

Yesterday, Thursday 27th March, marked a significant milestone in Volvo Car's 97-year legacy as their last diesel vehicle rolled off the production line. Diesel car production has ceased at Volvo's factories in Ghent, Belgium, and Torslanda, Sweden.

This shift aligns with Volvo's target of becoming a fully electric car manufacturer and achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040.

Volvo's sales landscape has transformed notably, with electric vehicles dominating the market. A remarkable 70% surge in fully electric car sales was recorded last year, along with a 34% increase in global electric market share.

The entire Volvo Group is progressing rapidly towards zero emissions, exemplified by Volvo Buses launching the BZT Electric platform for modular electric buses and embarking on an electric van venture in collaboration with Renault Group.

While Volvo's focus is on electric vehicles, their diverse portfolio will continue to include plug-in hybrid and mild-hybrid models, serving as a stepping stone towards an all-electric future.
