true. But like I said toyota hardly sells any pure ice cars here. 90% of what they sell here is probably hybrid (mainly auris/prius/c-hr). we also dont get the camry.
So its not that far away from what toyota is selling now for the bulk of the numbers (in europe). So that makes it not as progressive as they'd like it to sound I think. But Volvo is a relatively small manufacturer with a small lineup, so for them its also easier to accomplish.

Also the press statement I believe said that volvo is going to bring out a pure electric carversion (so 'all electric') of every model in their lineup (I think 5 in total). Dont know how soon though. But that is more all electric models I think than any other manufacturer currently has. But development in this sector goes crazy fast, so in 2 or 3 years the playingfield will have drastically changed I suspect.
