Volvo Car Malaysia recently introduced the XC40 Recharge Pure Electric to the Malaysian market. The move marks the company’s first step in its journey to go all-electric globally by 2030.
Volvo Car Malaysia is ready to implement Volvo’s global plan for a fully electric line-up by 2030, starting with the launch of the XC40 Recharge Pure Electric today. The XC40 Recharge Pure Electric is just one of our many steps to encourage consumers to adopt electric vehicles for a more sustainable future.
By mid-decade, we’re aiming to reduce our overall CO2 lifecycle emissions per car by 40 per cent. This means more than simply reducing tailpipe emissions – electrification is not enough. We must reduce CO2 emissions across our operations and supply chain.
Volvo Car Malaysia managing director, Charles Frump.
The XC40 Recharge Pure Electric is based on the XC40 small premium SUV. It features a fully electric all-wheel-drive powertrain that offers a range of up to 418 km on a single charge.
For the Malaysian market, the XC40 Recharge Pure Electric is locally assembled.
Volvo will also export fully electric vehicles to markets within the ASEAN region from Malaysia, soon.
