A Bold Commitment to Electric Vehicles
Volvo has set itself apart among traditional automakers with its ambitious goal of transitioning entirely to electric vehicles (EVs). While it may not hold the title of the world’s largest car manufacturer, its promise to evolve into a fully electric car company is indeed remarkable, and their efforts towards this goal show significant progress.
In 2024, Volvo achieved an impressive 54% increase in global sales of all-electric vehicles compared to the previous year. As we reached December 2024, electric models represented 19% of their total sales. Plugin hybrids made up another 27%, meaning that nearly half (46%) of Volvo’s sales involved vehicles equipped for plug-in capabilities. For the whole year, battery-powered EVs constituted 23% of sales alongside an equal share from hybrid models.
Introducing the All-New Volvo EX30 Cross Country
A highlight in Volvo’s push for electrification is their latest offering—the new VOLVO EX30 CROSS COUNTRY. Recently unveiled during an engaging fireside chat alongside outdoor gear brand Fjällräven at a charming winter cabin in northern Sweden, this model caters specifically to adventure seekers looking for excitement from a compact yet fully electric SUV.
Volvo describes it as enhancing the popular features found in the original EX30 while incorporating rugged elements that make it ideal for those who love exploring beyond urban confines—regardless of weather conditions, whether under sunshine or amidst snow and ice.

By showcasing its innovations and focusing on electrification while keeping functionalities aligned with consumer interests such as sustainability and adventure readiness, Volvo positions itself admirably within today’s rapidly evolving automotive industry landscape.
