Volvo to Stop Making Gas-Only Cars by 2019

By: Caitlin Proctor, Lady Free Thinker | 

Last week, Volvo announced their intention to phase out cars run solely on gasoline by 2019, years ahead of the projections from other auto companies. By 2021, Volvo will release five completely electric vehicles. By 2025, Volvo further projects to have manufacturing achieve an environmentally neutral impact.

This decision was preceded by Europe’s stricter clean air regulations and the recent Volkswagen diesel-duping scandal. There is a global push toward clean energy, so while more aggressive than most, Volvo’s pledge is in line with the current environment.

America is Volvo’s top market behind China. Long has the Volvo been a safe, reliable option for families and individuals alike. Now that safety will extend to the environment as well as the passengers.

Here is what you need to know about Volvo’s claim:

• This is not the death of gas cars. This is another push toward greener energy, mirrored by similar claims from other car companies.


• By 2019, Volvo will only release new cars with electric or electric-gas hybrid engines. They will continue to sell cars that use only gas, but not release new models.


• In 2024, Volvo will no longer sell cars that use only gas power.


• Between 2019 and 2021, Volvo will release five all-electric models; two will be under the name of “Polestar,” Volvo’s electric-racing subsidiary.

Volvo’s foreward-thinking announcement arrives in the wake of President Trump pulling America out of the Paris Agreement. Signed in 2016 by 195 countries and parties, the document provides support for global curbing of climate change induced damages. Despite speculation about the future of America and clean energy, Americans still desire more eco-friendly vehicles.

“This is about the customer. People increasingly demand electrified cars and we want to respond to our customers’ current and future needs. You can now pick and choose whichever electrified Volvo you wish,” says Vovlo’s president and CEO, Håkan Samuelsson.

Hybrid and electric cars are the way of the future. While all major auto manufacturers offer some greener options, Volvo is leading the way to cleaner air with less fuel fumes polluting our air.

Could Cheap Car Loans Be The Cause Of The Next Economic Collapse?

Ten years ago, sub-prime mortgages were getting the blame for the economic collapse which followed. Could the low rates of car loans be the next vehicle which will fling us into an even more unstable economy? Some experts seem to think so.

The car financing industry is confident that this new breed of ultra-low-cost loans, which account for 82% of all new car registrations and are known as personal contract plans (PCPs), are a safe and secure way of financing the newest cars. It also claims that sub-prime lenders, who offer loans to people with erratic incomes and damaged credit ratings, account for only 3% of the market and the industry can cope with any destabilizing events coming down the pipelines. But experts aren’t as confident.

Experts are now warning that lending will be dramatically affected by even the slightest downturn in the economy, let alone widespread unemployment. Bank of England economists who wrote in a blog post titled, “Car finance – is the industry speeding?” argue that “the industry’s growing reliance on PCPs has made it more vulnerable to macroeconomic downturns”. There is also the concern that the banking industry, which provides most of the underlying finance, is offering the same platitudes as it did before the 2008 crash. The vast majority of loans are rock solid, it says, except the industry has failed to introduce a standard way to calculate customer arrears and repossessions, which means that the 3% sub-prime figure could be much bigger than alleged.

PCPs have increased in popularity because they put in place a new way of calculating the loan. Instead of spreading the loan and interest charge over the whole cost of the car, only the cost of depreciation is taken into account. This means that some of the most expensive Mercedes, Audi, Volvo and Land Rover models, which maintain their value and depreciate the least, have suddenly become affordable to those on a lower income.  But experts warn that these loans are the ones that could exasperate an economic meltdown. 

Cash purchases for cars are all but unknown anymore, and with disposable incomes shrinking thanks to the constantly increasing taxes and harsher regulations, any borrowing could stretch a family beyond its financial limits.  But this is especially a problem when considering diesel powered vehicles.

“PCP car finance relies on the lenders’ ability to realize guaranteed future values, which can only happen in a strong used car market; but if hundreds of thousands of diesel drivers were to use consumer law to return their PCP-financed cars early – passing the early-termination losses back to the lenders – the cost would be so great that many finance companies wouldn’t be able to cope. It’s no exaggeration to speculate whether this could become the next financial crisis,” Simon Empson of Broadspeed.com said.

So the problem is now the UK government’s interference with diesel vehicles, and rather than let the market sort it out, their insistence on getting involved could facilitate a crash. An attempt by the new government to curb emissions could ensure the end of high-end diesel cars, millions of which have been sold through these PCP plans. Diesel vehicles values could plummet by 40%, forcing borrowers to return the cars and passing the loss onto the lender. This could spur another economic downturn as those lenders likely cannot cope with such a loss.  Buckle-up. It could get bumpy.
