Volvo has officially ended its relationship with diesel engines, marking a significant shift in its manufacturing strategy as it transitions towards an all-electric future, with the last diesel XC90 rolling off the assembly line.

Volvo has bid farewell to diesel engines, signaling a new era for the brand. The company recently produced its final diesel XC90 in Belgium, closing a significant chapter in its history. This move aligns with Volvo's commitment to sustainability, announced during Climate Week NYC, as it transitions to an electric vehicle (EV) future. Despite diesel's past dominance in the European market, Volvo is confidently shifting focus, with plans to expand its electric lineup, including the upcoming EX90.

The transition away from diesel has been swift; a decade ago, diesel engines dominated Volvo’s sales in Europe. However, the brand is now embracing its electric future with the introduction of the EX90, an all-electric successor to the diesel XC90, featuring a robust dual-motor setup. This shift comes as part of Volvo’s broader strategy to electrify its range, with updates and new electric models expected in the coming years.

The journey from diesel to electric represents a significant pivot for Volvo, with the EX90 set to commence production in the United States soon, indicating the brand's commitment to electric mobility. Volvo's electrification roadmap includes upcoming refreshes for current models and the launch of new electric vehicles, highlighting the brand's dedication to a sustainable automotive future.
