<title>Volvo Among the Latest To Temper Its EV Ambitions, ICEs To Stay in Lineup Beyond 2030</title>
<link>https://www.autoevolution.com/news/volvo-among-the-latest-to-temper-its-ev-ambitions-ices-remain-in-its-lineup-beyond-2030-239396.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[Volvo was among the few carmakers that wanted to transition to an electric-only lineup by 2030, an ambition it outlined in March 2021. However, the Swedish carmaker was forced to admit defeat, as its EV sales are not going well. Volvo now announced that it wants plug-in and full electric models to account for over 90% of its lineup by 2030. The rest will be mild-hybrid models, as the market appears to be shifting away from electric vehicles.
