Volvo Cars to Make Its First Electric Model in China as of 2019

摘要

Volvo Cars will produce its first electric vehicle in China, with a compact car going on sale in 2019 set to be the first of an all-new line of battery-powered autos. The model, which will be exported globally, will be based on the same platform as the brand's XC40 compact sport utility vehicle. Volvo Cars is embarking on the plan as China moves to impose tougher rules on emissions to clean up smog-choked cities. The manufacturer will become the first western luxury-vehicle maker to produce an all-electric model in the world's biggest automotive market.
