Therecwintbe a future for oil and gas until the billionaires own it. Then, it becomes a miracle fuel.
That does make sense. Electric cars are improving by leaps and bounds. Perhaps some pickups will be hybrid in 2030, and definitely commercial vehicles. But ordinary cars for most will not be ICE
For me the biggest takeaway for me here is the shift to purchasing online.
It’s certainly become a thing in the UK during 2020 - and unheard of a year earlier.
Wait till the fire department won't touch the car.
Wait till your garage catches on fire.
Wait!!
I can’t pick a better example of collective insanity than the push for “electric everything” when we’ve seen how government-controlled utilities in Texas have utterly failed to even keep the lights on.
Huge mistake. Diversity ensures survival.
Over specialization leads to extinction like the Dinosaurs.
Bye bye Volvo.
Goodbye volvo
I have owned Volvos for the past 30 years, off and on.
In 2017, I leased an S90 with a turbocharged/supercharged 4 cyl engine. The car was beautifully built — like an Audi, MB, or BMW.
But, it had a control panel/user interface from hell. It was so slow that I thought it had an Intel 8088 processor and 1 MB of RAM. 2-3 second lags from touch screen controls to movement on the screen were common. I hear that in 2022, Volvo is switching to an Android platform for all of their cars. Unfortunately, no retrofits will be offered.
The engine only delivered 23 MPG at 70 MPH on long, flat trips, such as Texas to NC. The car looked aerodynamically efficient, so I blame the engine design. That poor little 4 cylinder sounded like it was in pain and struggling all of the time.
I guess the Chinese owners decided to offer a crap engine to the faithful on the way to an all-electric platform, so the electric would seem like an upgrade.
I returned the car from lease and bought a Buick Regal TourX station wagon with the global GM 250 HP turbo 4 cyl and the same Japanese 8-speed transmission as the Volvo S90. The car is discontinued here, but is really a German Opel rebranded as a Buick.
Absolutely a terrific machine. 27 to 31 MPG, built like a MB or BMW and it has the best lane control and braking software I have ever experienced.
Volvo is just making one bad decision after another and another...
Need fossil fuel to manufacture parts and accessories, idiots
I’m confused. Why does a car with a similar name to a female body part have the male symbol for its emblem.
In 2031 they’ll only be making toasters, refrigerators, ranges etc.
“There is no long-term future for cars with an internal combustion engine,” said Henrik Green..”
There is no long term future for YOU Henprik!
Friends don’t let friends buy Volvos.
Which makes them ideally suited for liberals.
EV market share will increase, driven by governmental pressure, but it will be virtually impossible to power a huge EV fleet without a wholesale commitment to nuclear generation. And that is not on the horizon.
Volvo was purchased by the Chinese.
Color me doubtful. Maybe they should focus on ridding the globe of fossilized politicians instead of fossil fuels.
Where’s all that electricity gonna come from?
More oil and gas for China and India to use.
Volvo working hard to go the way of the Saab. Idiots.
