"This announcement marks the end of the solely combustion engine-powered car." - Volvo Cars CEO Hakan Samuelsson said.
All Volvo car models launched after 2019 will be electric or hybrids, the Chinese-owned company said on Wednesday, making it the first major traditional automaker to set a date for phasing out vehicles powered solely by the internal combustion engine.
The Sweden-based company will continue to produce pure combustion-engine Volvos from models launched before that date, but its move signals the eventual end of nearly a century of Volvos powered solely that way.

Correction - FROM 2019 onwards!

going from literally only one 4cyl block to e isn't that much of a big leap anymore.

Also it's a very important news regarding the automobile revolution. So I thought it has it's importance.

Probably not very, they're all about saving the environment and saving people nowadays. Performance has no real priority.

Yeah, making a twin charged 4 banger into the 400hp on a production car is not about power
