RIP Internal Combustion? Volvo to go electric from 2019

Is this a decisive moment for the expansion of electric vehicles?

Volvo is making electrification a core part of their business. All of the models it introduces from 2019 will be either hybrids or powered solely by batteries. Journalists at Wired magazine claimed that "Volvo's switch to electric is a death-knell for combustion."

Our friends at Hills Road Business and Economics department has flagged up the importance of this announcement from Volvo for business students! "Product Development, social trends, environmental pressures, innovation, ownership, competition - Business gold galore!" We agree!
