Ushering in a Future that is All-Electric: Volvo Car Malaysia

As part of Volvo’s global ambition of becoming a fully electric company by 2030, Volvo Car Malaysia officially steps into an all-electric
future by unveiling the XC40 Recharge Pure Electric for the Malaysian market.

To date, Volvo is the only automotive maker in Malaysia with a full range of locally assembled (CKD) Plug-in Hybrids.

Volvo Car Malaysia aims to accelerate its transformation towards electrification with a 75% contribution from its pure electric line-up by 2025. Through this ambitious goal, Volvo looks to become the leading car maker of premium EVs in Malaysia. To kick off this new chapter of
electrification, Volvo Car Malaysia has introduced the XC40 Recharge Pure Electric, its first fully electric car.

During a press conference to announce the launch of the XC40 Recharge Pure Electric, Charles Frump, Managing Director of Volvo Car Malaysia made some major announcements. Some salient points of the announcements are: Volvo Car Malaysia is the first luxury car brand in the country to locally assemble EVs in the form of a CKD unit; Price of the XC40 Recharge Pure Electric will be announced on the 4 April 2022, after which customers may book online on the same day; Deliveries for the XC40 Recharge Pure Electric will start from the end of April 2022; Hassle-free price across Malaysia for the XC40 Recharge Pure Electric; Volvo Car Malaysia will export fully electric vehicles to markets within the ASEAN region soon.

“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 CO 2 lifecycle emissions per car by 40 per cent. This means more than simply reducing tailpipe emissions – electrification is not enough. We must reduce CO 2 emissions across our operations and supply chain,” said Charles Frump, Managing Director of Volvo Car Malaysia.

“Based on the XC40 small premium SUV, the XC40 Recharge Pure Electric features a fully electric all-wheel-drive powertrain that offers a range of up to 418 km** on a single charge. The debut of the XC40 Recharge Pure Electric is a milestone for Volvo Car Malaysia, as it
works towards becoming a climate-neutral company by 2040,” he added.
