Dat bericht is wel dubbelzinnig. Wat ze willen zeggen is dat er van elk model een 'elektrische' variant zal zijn. Hoeveel ze er gaan verkopen is een andere zaak.

Wat ze gaan verkopen aan stekkerwagens hangt van de klanten en concurrentie af...

Het voornaamste dat ik onthou dat ze vanaf 2019 niets meer investeren in nieuwe pure fossiele wagens. Enkel in wagens die men kan opladen, dus in de regel enkel nog plugin-benzine-hybrides en pure E-wagens vanaf 2019.

Dat ze volledig stoppen met te investeren in (aangepaste) dieselmotoren hadden ze al in mei 2017 bekendgemaakt, hun huidige diesels euronorm 6c laten ze langzaam uitdoven, want ze gaan niet meer investeren om de toekomstige strengere Euronorm ? qua NOx nog te halen, wslk en dat hangt van de EU af, zal dat nog tot 2023 mogelijk zijn.

Volvo to completely stop developing new diesel engines

Volvo is planning to introduce electric and hybrid vehicles that will compete with the Tesla Model 3.

Volvo Chief Executive Hakan Samuelsson said that Volvo will not develop any new diesel engines anymore. He attributed the decision to increasing cost of reducing emissions of nitrogen oxide for diesel engines. According to Reuters, Samuelsson told German's Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung in an interview, “From today's perspective, we will not develop any more new- generation diesel engines.”
Volvo will continue to develop the current diesel-powered models, which were introduced in 2013 to meet future emission standards. However, the costs of meeting the higher anti-pollution standards with a new engine will no longer be worth as the current generation engine will not be produced after 2023.
We also reported earlier, Volvo is considering to introduce electric and hybrid vehicles and for the same, the company is testing the Indian market conditions for compatibility and will also benefit from the rebates being planned by the Government of India. The company is expected to first introduce a pure electric model in 2019 that would compete with the Tesla Model 3.
Samuelsson further added, “We have to recognise that Tesla has managed to offer such a car for which people are lining up. In this area, there should also be space for us, with high quality and attractive design.” He also said that tighter emissions rules will make the diesel-engined cars pricier and it will make plug-in hybrid vehicles as an attractive alternative.
