the end of the combustion engine-powered car.
Anthropocene is the science & footprint of you and me on Planet Earth
This marks the end of the combustion engine-powered car.
Volvo going all in on Electric engines in their car offerings.
Starting 2019, every Volvo will make use of an electric motor.
To top it off, Volvo will also make use of a completely climate neutral manufacturing operation by 2025.
And while this is just one good ol car manufacturer crossing over to the better side of car manufacturing, Volvo will of course not be alone in this transition.
Just as we see energy producers working their ass off to transition to a cleaner world without fossil fuel in their portfolios, car manufacturers are now all in on making safer ( autonomous cars ) and cleaner ( fully electric cars ) vehicles.
And this is no surprise, but it is a wonderful and positive change towards a better world that is happening quite a bit faster than some would have expected it.
But the black swan song of coal and oil and the combustion engine is a thing we should all be grateful for. So I say, bring it on even quicker.
