Volvo says all its new vehicles starting in 2019 will have electric motors. The Chinese-owned company is the first major car manufacturer to set a date for producing only electric powered vehicles. Volvo’s president, Hakan Samuelsson, said the decision was made because of the desires of today’s car buyers. People increasingly demand electrified cars, and we want to respond to our customers' current and future needs, he said. The company said it will offer five fully electric vehicles between 2019 and 2021.
