Many global car manufacturing brands have made the commitment to switch to electric vehicles by 2030. This commitment to zero emissions by 2030 highlights the eagerness of car manufacturing brands to do their part in fighting climate change.
“The earlier deadline will allow us to meet the expectations of our Australian customers and be part of the solution when it comes to fighting climate change,” Connor said. “Sustainability is as important as safety to us, with climate action having the highest priority. In the first part of 2021, Volvo set its target to only sell fully electric cars by 2030 and phase out any car in its global portfolio with an internal combustion engine, including hybrids. This new commitment puts Volvo four years ahead of its previous 2030 zero emissions target.
“This is a milestone and proves that we are leading the transformation of the industry. It’s less than two years ago since we showcased our heavy electric trucks for the very first time. Now we are ramping up volumes and will deliver these great trucks to customers all over Europe, and later on also to customers in Asia, Australia, and Latin America,” saysVolvo’s 2026 target is not the only commitment Volvo has made in terms of an overall zero emissions strategy.
The current goal of Volvo Australia is to sell 20,000 fully electric cars a year, giving it a bigger share of the EV market than it does in the current overall passenger car market. Volvo Australia is expecting EVs to account for 80% of its annual sales by 2025, while Connor noted that the hardest part for them in Australia is to convince the last 20%.
