Volvo Car South Africa (SA) says its local range of vehicles is now almost entirely electrified as the Swedish premium brand moves a step closer to its global ambition of transforming into a fully electric car company by 2030.

The updated South African line-up now comprises predominantly all-electric, plug-in hybrid and mild-hybrid options – also called electrified vehicles.

Volvo Car SA MD Greg Maruszewski says the move is in line with the Gothenburg-based company’s global strategy, and affords South African motorists the opportunity to experience the various benefits of the three stages of vehicle electrification.

“Our mild-hybrid vehicles boast reduced tailpipe emissions, improved fuel economy and stronger on-road performance, making them ideal stepping stones to our plug-in hybrids, which add the major advantage of a pure-electric driving mode, and, ultimately, our all-electric offering.

“In short, our completely renewed line-up covers all the electrification bases.”

Volvo Car SA’s decision to shift its primary focus to hybrid vehicles is based on the belief that this type of powertrain represents the ideal solution for most of its local customers.
