In 2017 Volvo marked itself as one thing of a pioneer within the auto business when then-CEO Hakan Samuelsson introduced that the corporate would concentrate on electrification within the coming years, with a purpose of promoting one million electrified automobiles by 2025. It isn’t doing too badly in that regard—already in 2021 1 / 4 of its gross sales have been plug-in hybrids or battery-electric automobiles, and that grew to 1 in three throughout 2022.

However there’s a lot extra to return. Immediately, Reuters reported that Volvo presently has six new EVs in growth to go on sale by 2026.

We have already seen the primary of those unveiled—the EX90 SUV. This may use Volvo’s new SPA2 structure, to be in-built South Carolina from subsequent yr, and options a complicated suite of sensors, together with roof-mounted lidar.

In line with Reuters, the XC90 can be adopted by EV replacements for the S60 and S90 sedans and the XC40 and XC60 SUVs. (Reuters additionally writes that there is an EV model of the XC90 SUV coming as effectively, however I confess that final one confuses me as I’m fairly certain that is the EX90.)

The sixth mannequin can be a Volvo van primarily based on the Zeekr 009, an imposing electrical brick-on-wheels that is solely offered in China. Reuters says that growth for the van, in addition to the electrical sedans, has moved to its Shanghai R&D heart versus its base in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Volvo says that by 2030 it would by a purely electrical automobile model.
