They are disappearing from the table one by one: Volvo’s diesel story is over!

As you know, Swedish-origin Volvo was recently incorporated into the Chinese Geely Group. Diesel cars were among the best sellers of the brand, which was popular with the robust and powerful cars it produced. However, Volvo seems to have already changed its mind about diesel cars. Here are the details…

The last diesel-engined Volvo has rolled off the production line!

In a statement made last year, Volvo stated that it would no longer produce diesel-powered cars and would generally focus on electric cars. Regarding the issue, while the brand stated that it wanted to focus on electric cars, it also stated that it wanted to end the production of vehicles with internal combustion engines.

As it is known, China has reached a position to lead the market in electric cars. So much so that while European manufacturers are talking about ranges ranging from 300 to 500 kilometers, the Chinese are discussing range values ​​over 1000 kilometers.

However, while European manufacturers stated that they will continue to operate with a half-and-half production method for a while, the Chinese have already switched to the “single focus electricity” motto. It is estimated that Volvo, which has been producing diesel-powered cars since 1979, has produced nearly 12 million vehicles with diesel units in total. The last of these cars rolled off the production line yesterday.

The model of the last diesel-engined Volvo car produced in the company’s Torslanda factory is the XC90. The blue SUV represents a kind of “innovative technologies”. After the car comes off the production line, it will be taken directly to the Volvo museum and will represent the 45-year history of the brand.

Considering the rest, let’s end our news by informing that the brand has a goal of making all its sales as electric cars by 2030. So what do you think about this issue? Don’t forget to express your opinions in the comments section…
