In line with the Swedish company's global strategy, Volvo Car India will begin manufacturing of plug-in hybrid vehicles only from 2019, a company official said.
The company opened its new showroom in the metropolis today. The first one was closed down few years AGO.
"From 2019 all our new cars will be not based purely on internal combustion engines (petrol and diesel), but plug-in hybrid models which is the future", MD of Volvo Car India Charles Frump said.
Replying to a query on the future of plug-in vehicles in India due to high incidence of GST, Frump said "It is a big bet to play in the hybrid models in the country. We are working closely with the government for a supportive policy as these vehicles will protect the environment."
