Volvo says its first electric car, the XC40, is one of safest on the road
(September 27, 2019) The advance of electric cars constitutes the biggest change in the history of the automobile. For the first time in over a century, cars move without a gas or diesel engine in the engine bay and have a battery in the floor, changing the car at its core.
With the introduction of the forthcoming fully electric Volvo XC40 SUV next month, Volvo Cars says it is not just launching its first fully electric car — in true Volvo tradition, it is also introducing one of the safest cars on the road, despite a fresh set of challenges presented by the absence of an internal combustion engine.
