Volvo strengthens its promise to go all-electric by 2030 with new mild-hybrid launches in India: XC40 to S90

New Delhi: Volvo launched its new mild-hybrid range in the country on Wednesday. In this range, the company has introduced four new cars, including the 2023 XC40, XC60, XC90 and the S90 sedan. The carmaker has now discontinued pure ICE (petrol and diesel) variants of the models. The latest development has strengthened the company’s promise of becoming an all-electric company by 2030.
